Default Help with wiring speakers

I have two 12inch subs in the trunk, and they both run off a RF amp. I was wondering if I could run my front and back speakers of the car off the amp? If I can do that does anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram showing where to connect the speaker wire onto the amp? Thanks

How many channels does your amp have?

Look at that MESS! I just pulled the seat down for the first time and the amp is hanging from the box. I bought the car like that, It looks like the previous owner was a great stereo installer. LOL

Well I fixed it tonight. I modified my fire extinguisher bracket so it would hold my punch box. I screwed it to the back of my bass box and it looks really nice.

If I were you I don't think I'd try to run both subs and 4 car stereo speakers off that amp. Rockford Fosgate makes good amps but I think you'll overload it by doing that.

You'd want to bridge either the left or right channel to run both of the subs, then you'd have to run the remaining 4 car speakers off the other channel. I just don't think its worth it. I think you will sacrifice sound qualityand run the risk of frying your amp.

You also have to take into account how much power your subs require to operate. All manufactures will give you a power range that you should follow to power your subs.
