im all over here thinkin im a genious or sump, cus i came up with this idea all by myself, but ****, for all i kno all yal people prolly done this before, or have it in they're set up... ok this is what i did...
i wanted to hook an amplifier to my inside speakers, and since all the speaker wires lead to the head unit, i thought i would have to have the amp near it also, but didnt have any space... also thought about running wires from up there, all the way to the trunk... but it was too much wires, and took up too much space, since i had already a whole bunch of wires to run two amps in the back (2 set of RCAs 2 remotes, 2Batteries, etc). so here is when that light bulb clicked in my head...
my speakers are all 4 ohm. the amplifier im gonna use is only two channel, but two ohm stable... what i did was, disconnect all four speakers from the head unit, tie together both negatives from the left, both positives from the left, both negatives from the right, and both positives from the right. I'm assuming i've just wired them parallel, because i don't know what these wires do along the doors, and dark corners underneath my upholstery. ok, wired them parallel, bringing the resistance down to 2 ohms. now i run a cable inside the trunk, from the rear speakers, to the amplifier. meaning from the left one, connected to positive and negative, then to the left channel in the amplifier, and same thing on the other... turned it on, and magic. i guess is newbie luck how i came up with this. my sound sounds ten times better. okay, out of all of this, i only have one question... where can i hook up tweeters to? i have stock ones, but i don't know where do those cables go to. the cables that come from the car, i've only seen the eight for the four inside speakers, plus obvioiusly the red, yellow, red and remote. thanks for all your help, and you can take advantage of this "beginnner so called discovery". thanks again
