Running on speaker leads?

[smakrabit]

I'm helping a friend with an install, and I've ran into a situation that I've never incountered before. He wants to keep his factory head unit which has no rca outs. Can I run from the back 6x9 speaker wires into a converter box into to the amplifier or will I have to disconnect the back speakers to use them for the amplifier signal? Also, how can I find his "rem" wire to come from the head unit to his amplifier?

well you could do the thing w/ the 6x9's and the remote wire is usually the power antenna wire.....so use that if you can find it or use a wire that comes on when the acc comes on.....good luck

You didn't mention the amp you're using... some of them have speaker level inputs with the "line converter" built in to them.
