4 speaker leads from radio, 8 speakers.. help?

[mustangaudio]

I don't know a ton about stereo systems, but I do know the basics and have wired a few full audio systems in boats. Have not wired a car stereo though. Ok, so I bought a mustang 5.0 5 speed the other day. I am looking to put new speakers and a new radio in. I am going to put a double din touchscreen in BUT... the stereo has wire leads for 4 speakers. I have six speakers and soon am going to put in two subs ( I do have a good pioneer amp. (Pioneer GM-5300T 760w). There are 2, 3.5" speakers, 2, 5.5", and 2, 6x8 speakers. How do I use four speaker leads for 6 speakers? Simply put, with the double din radio, the speakers, two subs, and that amp, how do I get all of them to work good together?

have a search for how the standard system is wired in your mustang..... prob just a set of splits, once you no how they have wired it, it should be an easy upgrade... does the standard deck have 4x outputs too?

Either splice them into the other 4 speaker ouputs already there (which may draw too much power from your headunit) or set up a 4 channel amp to run the other 4 speakers.

For the subs you will want to run RCAs from the HU or LOC to a monoblock amp. No HU puts out enough power to power a sub.

my apologies, I missed the part where you said u have two subs. then yes, u need and amp to power those, theres no other way.
