Trying the same as me today.

Come to 2 conclusions
1 - drill hole in door ( I do'nt really want to do that)
2 - trace the speaker cables to the other side of door pillar ,cut and join. ( appears to be my prefered option)

Let me know if you come up with anything else

If i join the wire from the amp to the original speaker wire from the car will that not burn out the original crappy stuff?
And also i have got the rca leads going from my headunit to the amp but how exactly do i get it so all 4 channels work ? its only working on 2 of the channels becasue only one set of rca leads

I am only driving 75 watts to the front door speakers, most head units can drive 50 to 60 watts so I do not think there should be to much problem with the wiring.:tempt:

What amp are you trying to use?

75W RMS is alot more than any headunit gives out! Headunits give about 50W max to speakers which is around 20-25W RMS

Im going to be using a crunch 480 amp which will be running about 75w rms to each channel so thats why i was worried about using the original wiring, this is causing a lot of problems! Also on the amp there are 3 [places for the rca leads to go into there is obviously the output holes which i wont use and then there are channel 1 & 2 input and then channel 3 & 4 input how do i connect it so i can use all four channels?

 

[mastermick70]

With the pre-outs on the back of the headunit, i have got one for sub one for front and one for rear does this mean that when using a 4 channel amp to power front and rear speakers i will have to have 2 sets of rca leads running into the 4 channel amp?
Stupid question maybe but i cant figure this out my manual only comes in german!
HELP!​

yup one set for the front and one for the rear.

If all 4 channels are going to the front you can use y-shaped phono leads, so u get 2 sets...

I'm not sure if signal is effected at all
