Ok, soon I will be hooking up my 4ch to power rear and front stage. My question is, when wiring the amp do i hook up the speaker wires directly to the speakers or wire the amp wires and factory speaker wires together?
so basically all i need to do is hook up some RCA's then? I got the whole sub thing down. Just don't wanna blow headunit if i hook it up wrong. If i get what your saying all i need is another pair of rca's. yes, i knew i was going to need a nother pair, but how will power get to the speakers without connecting them from the amp like u would with a sub?
you have to connect your speakers to your amp with speaker wire(not factory)you wont use your factory wire off your HU anymore. you will need to connect rcas from your HU to your amp.
if u have an aftermarket hu .. u can run the speaker wire off of that .. just tap into each respective wire on the harness .. strip... and soldier ... and ull be fine that way too
easiest and quickest, run amp speaker leads to behind the radio and tie into the factory harness by using the aftermarket harness of tapping directly into the factory harness.
ok thankyou for the responses, this really helps alot Sorry rick, but it didn't sound right to me what you said easiest thing to me (nothing wrong with the other suggestions mind you) is to do what mat says and just hook up the rca's and run the speaker wire from the amp to the speakers without the factory wire attached. I currently have a Pioneer DEH-P6700MP but will be upgrading to a Pioneer DEH-P860MP Premier
thats really not the easiest .. when u havta do to the front doors .... ur gonna love running the wire through the grommet holes ... lemme tell you... lol
Ice that is not simple, you have to go to all the doors, instead go behind the radio, all the wires are there to tie into, just run 1 bundle of wires from amp(4 speaker leads) to behind the radio and tie in there, saves you alot of time.
ok so let me get this right, I can wire up the amp for the speakers, and INSTEAD of going to each speaker I can run the speaker wires FROM the amp to the head unit and connect the wires to the wires going to the speakers. I would just see for myself but car is still in the shop, oh and I got the P860 should be a nice upgrade from my ole P6700 thanks for taking the time out to help everyone
