[QUOTE="shnitz, post: 7805087, member: 642468"] Where are you putting your amplifier? I would try to use the factory wiring as much as possible. If you are putting the amplifier under your seat, then just send the wiring from the amplifier to behind your dash, and connect it to the car speaker wiring instead of your headunit. If you are sticking the amplifier in the trunk, then you use the current wiring to your advantage as well. Take the wiring at the rear speakers, and move them to your amplifier in the trunk. Use the left rear speaker wiring for the front right amp output, and the right rear speaker wiring for the front right speaker output. You now have immediate wiring to the front of the car. Now, go behind your headunit, and connect the rear right speaker wiring to the front right speaker wiring, and the rear left speaker wiring to the front right speaker wiring. Without running ANY additional wires, you've just wired up your front speakers! For your back speakers, two pieces of 3-foot-long wires will reach from the amp to the rear speakers. [/QUOTE]
