[QUOTE="shipcamein, post: 7937629, member: 645805"] 2013 Silverado Ext Cab Newb questions... Due to my inability to locate someone local to install this system for $$, I am going to do some of the work myself. I was hesitant because the truck is BRAND NEW, and I do NOT want to scratch it or otherwise damage it just yet. (I also got some feedback from someone saying I am going to void the warranty...i do not know to what degree that can be true...). Anyway - my easy questions: I'm doing the rear doors - because I know they need a custom bracket. I can do that work myself, and I'll use the service manual to get the door apart. My question is: In general, do I just unhook the stock speaker, and hook up the new one? I am not running new wires....right?? Just reusing what's there? Which leads to: The AMP will certainly take new wires. From the head (keeping it stock), wires go to speakers. Will the wires NOW go from the head...somewhere...to my amp (underseat) then back up near the head...to re-unite with the speaker wires? Am I missing something obvious here? (Doing rear doors first; if I "mar" one of those half-door panels, I can always retreat, and find a pro. If it goes well, I'll move to the front...) [/QUOTE]
