[QUOTE="ctker, post: 8880280, member: 691947"] I’m sure these questions have been answered before, but I can’t manage to find a straight answer, so sorry in advanced if there are any other posts about this. I have a 2016 Chrysler 200, 9 speakers, 3 front dash 3.5s, 2 front door 6x9s, 2 rear door 3.5s, 2 rear deck 6x9. Recently replaced all my speakers with nice new expensive coaxials, I also just purchased a sweet aftermarket head unit, and I’m looking to throw an amp in to get some more clarity. Im going to be mounting my new amp to the back of the rear seats with my sub amp, which I previously installed before buying the new head unit, so I have a LOC from the rear deck for signal on that. 3 questions here 1. I’m aware that I can run speaker wire from head unit back to my amp. But how do I go about keeping the factory speaker wiring if even possible? Do I run the post amp wire back to the cut wiring behind the head unit? 2. Is a LOC signal quality from the rear deck as good as a subwoofer out from the head unit? With the new head unit should I run rcas back to my sub amp? I’m not sure if it matters, but I believe my rear deck speakers are full range. 3. I’m not trying to break the bank on an amplifier, but is it possible to amplify this whole setup with a 5-6 channel amp given that my speakers are only 2 sizes and are all the exact same 2 speakers literally, and play on the same ranges. I’m guessing this is unlikely, but I’m honestly just wondering how cars with a lot of speakers get amplified, do I really need to buy a 9 channel amp? I could be wrong, but I’m also under the impression that the more channels the more money. Again sorry if this stuff has been asked and answered before, really just looking for the knowledge of a professional/enthusiast Thanks! [/QUOTE]
