So what I'm looking for is a wiring diagram as to if possible where I'll connect up Amp to reverse of my stock 7" Tablet touch screen Head unit. 
Any Help would be hugely appreciated 

Many thanks in advance

Here's the pinout, but you'd have to cut and splice wiring into the rear outs, as there are no sockets for sub connection.

Hi Zion

Sorry for late reply, I have now got all my fixing kit for Amplifier etc but before I go ahead on splicing into harness and fitting amp I just wanted to ask if you know which wires I connect my RCA's to ??
I'm looking at diagram you kindly sent me and have worked out where my Remote out goes to for amplifier power on off but not sure about the signal input options (RCA's) or Rear outs,
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would wire the sub into the rear set, left + right since you probably don't have rear speakers (maybe in the car but not the van) and even if you do, I'd parallel them onto the rears, so the input level can be controlled by the front / rear bias.

If it's a mono sub, then just hook it up to the left rear + & - with the plus to the centre pin of the RCA socket and the - to the shell. Same goes for stereo.

Many thanks Zion all done and dusted.
Power cable webt through Firewall for bonnet cable and all the instructions and wiring diagram you posted all worked a treat. Nice little instillation made easier.

Looks like he used the grommet that passes the bonnet pull cable through the firewall, to pass the power cable through.
