3 is confusing, basically you have completly new speaker wire from the amp to the 6X9s in the rear. Thats how the rears work. Then, you have new wire going to the stock speaker wire that used to be connected to the rear 6X9s, and the sound goes through that to the deck where you dissconnect it from the deck and connect it to the front speaker wires so it goes though the stock wire to the speakers.

For the amp. You'll need to run a power wire from the battery to the amp. Probably 8 gauge if you running two amps.

Get an inline fuse for the power wire. 30 amp minimum.

Ground both of the amps to the body. Find a metel place under the trunk carpet to ground them. Make sure you clean the area. Use a screw to mount the ground wire.

On your head unit. There will be one wire that needs constant power, one with ign. power, a ground, four sets of speaker wires and a remote wire or power ant. All wires should be labeled on aftermarket harness.

I wish I would have known about how to wire my front doors the easy way. I went ahead and used new wires and actually cut 2 tiny holes in the sides of my doors. It works well, and the wires are out of the way, but the wires are visable when the doors are open. I think maybe after readin this post I may consider using the stock wire to have my wires hidden. The only thing is I have a cross over, how would I go about connecting that to the stock wire without having to put the cross over in my door?
