[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8690911, member: 678581"] I would get rid of that Amplifier and connect each speaker directly to the speaker level outputs of your DEH-80PRS. Right now each speaker is seeing 43 Watts RMS but they're all playing exactly the same thing. (Mono output) Which is great for Sub's but kills mid/high fidelity. The Pioneer provides 50 Watts Max x 4 channels and will probably sound way better than how its currently connected. If you rewire like in the photo you attached your 40ix amplifier will only produce 2 x54 Watts @ 4 ohms - split in half again, each speaker will only see 27 watts. You wont see any front to rear controls because all the speakers are behind you but you will start hearing actual "Stereo" sound. Where different sounds come from the left or right speakers depending on how the Artist setup the song. 100% run new speaker wire from each channel of your deck to each speaker. Your ears will thank you. Basically you can leave it how it is for "loud" but lower SQ, or direct wire to your HU and maybe be a little less loud but have a much better SQ. [/QUOTE]
