[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7388115, member: 576029"] from the amp images you can see that it has an input mode setting for 4ch or 5ch. you'll use the 4ch input mode. you will need a 4 channel Line Output Converter (LOC) or two 2 channel LOC's. I recommend this LOC over all others: [URL="http://www.davidnavone.com/cart.asp?14&pid=363"]David Navone N-RHL4[/URL] you'll need to tap both front and rear speaker wires to wire them to the LOC. you can do this behind the head unit (best) or at each speaker (longer runs). for easy access to wiring behind the head unit you can buy both matching Metra wire harnesses, 70-6502 goes into the car and 71-6502-1 goes into the radio. this will give you a place to intercept wiring. RCA's are more expensive than speaker wire, you could just run four pairs of speaker wire from behind the HU wired to the 71-9502-1 harness to the amp, then place the LOC's at the amp for easy access. I recommend doing this. that way you also benefit from high level signals back to the amp. here is the mounting adapter instructions which tell you how to remove the factory head unit: [URL="http://www.metraonline.com/files/products/INST99-6504.pdf"]http://www.metraonline.com/files/products/INST99-6504.pdf[/URL] if you want to reuse factory speaker wiring (not recommended but will be easier and still work), you can run another four pairs of speaker wires from the amp outputs to behind the head unit and connect them to the 70-6502 harness. you need a remote turn-on. you may get one when you connect the 71-6502-1 harness into the radio. if not, you'll want to buy a LOC that generates a turn-on signal.
