How do I run amp with OEM Navi/OEM Amp?

[subydude81 10+ year member]

OK my cars a 2006 acura tsx with built in Navi and I have stock comps in front, 6.5s in rear doors then 6x9 subs in rear deck. I'm keeping the factory Navi so how would I go about running an amp to the front comps and rear 6x9s.

I have a 5 channel Hifonics amp but not speaker level inputs. I know of LOCs but since the wiring from the Navi goes into the factory amp i'm not sure how I would get enough signal for 4 speakers.

I'd like to just bypass the factory amp and run the 5 channel to all speakers, I know rear door speakers don't need the amp but might as well since I upgraded those rear door speakers.

May have a solution for you if you are willing to spend some money. Kenwood has some new products that can incorporate what you are asking. Here is a scenario, http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KOSCV10/Kenwood-KOS-CV100.html?tp=119, use that inconjunction this, http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KOSV500/Kenwood-KOS-V500.html. They two components will let you use your factory nav and utilize an aftermarket amp.

Hmm a bit pricey. I don't mind spending the money but i'm trying to find a cheaper solution first if its possible. I don't mind the extra work that may come.
