Schosche is an all right one, I would say use it for the simple fact that it would pretty much be the same thing as any other.
As for hooking it up, you have to find the JBL amp and determine signal side and speaker side. I don't have the tech sheet right in front of me, but you can probably google it and find out. Just to give you an idea of what your looking for; spekaer colors are pink - purple, light/green - blue, red - white, and yellow - black. I think its light colors in the front are positive, and dark colors in the back are positive. One way you can check polarity is to cut the speaker terminal at the speaker off, plug it into the speaker you took out, get a regular 9V battery and pop the speaker. (+) on one wire and (-) on the other. If the speaker pops outward, then that is correct polarity, and if it pops inward, that is reverse polarity and all you have to do is switch the battery around. Once you find out the correct polarities on all the speakers, at the amp, those speaker wires will go to the after market amplifier. Then the signal wires will go into the Scosche output converter and your RCA's will plug into that module as well, and you will run those RCA's to the aftermarket amp to their correct channels.
Make sure you unplug the amp and find the correct wires, if you don't unplug the amp, all you are doing is amping an amp and it will either be really loud or you will damage something. I would strongly recommend going to Sears or Checkers and getting a DMM so you can test your wires before you cut them, YOU DO NOT WANT TO CUT THE WRONG WIRES!!!!!
Good Luck and I hope this helps... Shoots
