I purchased the headrest speaker pods by ssv and the sub pod for behind the glove box, plus two jl amps. My question is do I need an adapter to tie into the infotainment center on my SLR LE? Or will they just tap into the wires?

It matters if your amp input is capable of recieving high power wire (your speaker wire) or a low power (RCA) input.
If it uses HP then just run the left and right wire to the amp. If it is LP then you will have to get a converter that turns the speaker wire into LP.
What model amp did you purchase? -
Lots of factors will determine your setup. Slingrazor hits it, now with two amps things are a little different, you're going to need the wire diagram ( outputs) of your radio and the inputs on your amps.Dont forget the proper amp install kit.

What model amp did you purchase?the two amps are both jl
Mx280/4,behind the head speakers
Mx300/1,2-6.5 subs behind glove box
Where would I get the wiring diagram for the stock infotainment system? -
I thought I head somewhere that the infotainment setup on the 2018 has pre-amp outputs....perhaps I'm wrong.

That is something I cant tell you. Hey @SlingRider, can you answer that.

Whaaaaat!
You haven’t got an answer! 
Should we give you an hour or so?

Yes the ride command has a pre Amp. @SaltyClownNY is familar with it

I have a couple speakers that sound OK when the volume is low, when you turn them up, they pop or crack once in a while. Are they blown? Not enough watts or wired wrong? nor sure what's going on. Need help please and thank you

check the wattage of your speakers and the amp. If you are running a 100w amp and 50w speakers, they will sound all distorted as you turn the amp up and you will blow them. Ride command has it's own amp (albeit a separate hardware behind the interface), but if you say use the same speakers from the stock system, it will sound like crap, but OK at very low volumes as the amp is twice the wattage as the stock system.
All the other stuff above is all good LOL. Not sure what stock setup you have, sounds like the base model and not ride command. The rear speaker out is for base signal, so I would recommend going with clipping into the high output wires and reducing the signal (unless the amps take high output that is). I use the "Scosche LOC80" to reduce the signal. I don't stock them though as they are a bit temperamental. Once you get one that works, it's good, but a common problem. Just easier to let another company handle it LOL. Wiring harnesses we do, but mostly are around ride command and haven't converted the stock stereo yet to a plug and play setup. Could probably provide something, but would have to take a look and see what adapters I need.

O', hey... for all... this is kind of a cool info kind of site if you aren't used to wiring speakers. I'm not endorsing Crutchfield, but this page provides some links for different king of amplifiers / speaker combos and how wiring them changes the ohms.

thanks, I have a 1500 watt 8 channel amp, ... 8 speakers all on their own channel, ... not sure about speaker watts, not sure about ohms either

May I ask what 8 channel amp you're running?
