Default Amp and Speakers Installation Advice Please

Can someone post me a good DIY on how to install a 2 channel amp to the rear speakers of my 99 civic sedan. And also do i need new wiring if i am installing new front and rear speakers, or will the old wiring work just fine?

Stock wiring is good to about 50W RMS.

You should be "amping" the front speakers not the rears.

If the fronts are already "amped" then you should be using an amp that can be bridged into mono for the rear speakers. [mono rear fill]. 94

Wiring an amp is not that hard, why would you have to rewire "everything"? 94

I would have to rewire "everything" because I want a better connection because some of my speakers have some static. It's not hard to rewire "everything", my friend can do it for me, he has done this many times.

Running wires for a car audio system is EASY. You just have to know what you're doing and have time/patience. If you want it done in 10min...it will likely SOUND LIKE ****.
