I just installed an amp for my speakers, when I run the speaker wire to the front, should I run it on the side of the rcas?

& also, where do I connect the speaker wires at the head unit?

these are just for the front speakers..

Go to the speaker locations in the front and look at the colors. Does your car have a factory amp?

And most run rcas and speakers on the opposite side of the power.

If you're wiring speakers to amp, you don't need to wire the speakers to the HU. Just RCAs to the amp and speakers to the amp.

no factory amp, and the rcas are on the opposite side already, just seeing where the speaker wire goes, i'm going to go take off the doors right now and check thanks

Also, i'm not wiring it from the HU also, I'm taking all the wires there and hooking up the speakers there.. isn't that easier..?

Im not sure what you mean by "where do I connect speaker wire to head unit?"

If you have RCAs running from your head unit to the amp you run speaker wire from the amp to the speakers. Its that simple.

The speaker wires are going TO the head unit, why not disconnect the speaker wires FROM the headunit and connect those to the amp, isn't that easier than running wires from the speakers to the amp??

You're hurting my head...

Run the speaker wires from the amp to the speakers inside the doors. Connect them at the speaker and be done with it.

That is all you have to do.

The trick is making it look clean.

I got it... its not easy to do that with my car, you CANT hide it. I ended up pulling them by the hu, and connecting them to the harness.
