[QUOTE="lamontjersey, post: 105067, member: 546121"] i dont mean to be rude but, why are you guys giving this man advice w hen you dont even know what kind of factory amp he has in his car, the rating of that factory amp, and most of all, how this stuff is wired up??? here is my advice to you, first of all, you need to tell us, what kind of factory amp it has. tell us how many channels, how many watts, into how many ohms, is it bridgeable. does it have high or low level inputs or both. how many. true what that other guy said, most factory car amps arent bridgeable. Im going to make some assumptions about this amp, then give you my opinion based on those assumptions. number one, i assume this factory amp has 4 channels, driving four speakers. high level inputs only. this means you are going to have to run low level wires from the unit to the trunk. how many wires will you have to run? well, assuming your are going to be driving four speakers and one subwoofer, i would say run 6 channels of rca wires, run one big fat wire for the amp's power , run two wires for remote turn on leads ( incase you want to be able to turn the sub off seperately for some reason) the wires for the speakers will all be found at the old amplifier just reuse them. there's a lot more to say and a few more tricks i can tell you to do to save money and how to reuse the factory wiring that's already there. but, you have to tell us exactly what you have in your car and how its wired.
