Entry level SQ: Should I replace the stock speaker wire?
Sounds like a PITA. With my setup, will the upgrade be audible? I won't be running anything crazy, SLC265s in the front powered by a DA3400.4, with the rear stock 6.5s powered by an AVIC-D2.

how are you wiring the fronts from the amp? The amp is a 4channel amp, why dont you run it to the back also? If you dont, replacing the rear wires wont do much since it is powered by a HU. In the long run it is worth it incase you run anything in the rear.

I have the same amp and speakers up front. Bridge the amp, it gets quite a bit louder. Something it took me a little while to figure out was to plug the rcas into either both reds or both whites (I've never bridged a 4ch amp, but this is how you get stereo).

Ok, then yah bridge it because I run 85rms all around and it is needed for my SLC's and SL's. I will probably upgrade to 100rms all around after I complete my sub upgrade. You dont need to run speaker wire to the rears then.

anyhow, definately run new wires. the grommet on my 6th gen was a b*tch to work with, but persistence pays off. I have four 14 gauge wire crammed into the grommet.

Can it really make that much difference if you change your speaker wire? I have a 5.5 gen.. i dont really feel like doin all the work to rewire and am just going to use the stock wire.. btw i am powering all 4 speakers with a rockford p4004 50rms a channel.. do you think i will be ok?
