[QUOTE="QuikSilverRS91, post: 1049191, member: 552763"] Alright, first of all that's the half-*** way of doing it. That's got to be the most haggard idea for a 4-channel install I've ever heard of. Basically, he would only be running two channels.... so let's see... he's going to buy a 4 channel amp and then wire it up so he can only balance left and right, and it will sound terrible. You've got good stuff in there man... I mean it's not like Boston's products are particularly cheap - DO THE INSTALL RIGHT. You might consider having a professional install done on that 4-channel, and then try your hand at a sub amp first to get used to it and test your installation abilities. Anyway, assuming you're going to continue with this by yourself, what kind of car is it? (make, model, year) You would want to run new wiring all the way up behind the deck for all four speakers, OR (and this is especially true in a factory amplified system) rewire directly to the speakers from the amp. The factory has already done the work for you running wires to the speakers, so why do it over (this is assuming the wiring is still in good condition, if the car is very old or the wiring is noticably starting to go downhill you should rewire it directly to the speakers). Anyway, find some good tutorials that will go step-by-step with you, if you want a good one and you want to make sure it's done correctly, I'll write one for you. [/QUOTE]
