My aftermarket speakers are currently powered by my eclipse h.u. I want to get a 4 channel amp to power them, but do I need to rewire my speaker wires to the amp or do i only need to plug the rca cables of the amp to the headunit? Sorry, I am somewhat of a newb with electronics. I appreciate any help.

 

speaker wire will need to be run from the speakers into the amplifier.

 

not true..only speaker that would need to be hooked up would be a woofer if that was the case..if he has a aftermarket hu then connect rca from there to amp..the speakers are already wired through harness to radio

 

no...IF he decides to use a four channel amp to power his speakers, he'll have to run speaker wires to each speaker. an amp doesn't necessarily power only a woofer.

 

Wow, you could not be more wrong. Then you tell the guy who gave the correct advice that he is wrong ....... .

 

i tried to keep flamage to a minimum.

 

Is that why you edited your post .


I got caught up in the moment .

 

possibly

 

2nd alternative.

Drive to Jersey and have Don do the work so you know it's done right.

 

Sounds like very good advice .

 

WoW if that wasnt the worst info Ever.

 

But umm wouldnt JoO be doing the work?

 

No need for apologies, everyone starts somewhere, asking questions is a great way to do so.

Yes wire would need to be run to the speakers, and RCAs from the HU to the amp. ALong with that, power from the battery, ground to chassis and remote turn on from HU to amp.

 

thanks don. i'm gonna try to install this next week, and if it's not a success, you'll hear from me soon. :

 

Good luck man.

I guess I would be doing the work lol.

 

Not a problem Ill be here.

 

Oh and with my trusty coworker Nilesh.
