Helping a friend upgrade the speakers and adding a couple of amps in his Snake but it seems that we have run into a little glitch with the speaker wires off the HU.
We will be using a Alpine PXE-H660, is it possible to use the speaker level outputs straight from the back of the deck to the PXE-H660 and then run speaker wires from the amps back to the "now unused speaker wires" from the factory harness? we don't want to mess with trying to get new wires through the doors. Or do I need to go with something like the PIE AOEM-FRD24

Only reason why I'm questioning this is because tonight when I was testing to see if I had the correct speaker wires, I cut the negative wire to the right front speaker but I was still able to get sound from it. It was much lower in volume but was producing sound non the less. Just didn't know if I was missing something when it comes to the shaker 500 system.
Oh and before someone says it will be much easier and sound better replacing the stock HU, that's not an option right now and something that has already been mentioned to my friend many times.
