is there a way to piggyback an amp from the head unit? if so how is it done? its just something ive thought of...never personally done this myself....

 

also what head unit would you guys reccomend...i really like the kenwood excelon but they all look the same...so im looking for something else but about the equivalent...i know the excelon series are well known for their great sound quality so that is what im primarily looking for...

 

What do you mean "piggyback". Are you talking about connecting an amp to a deck to run subs or other speakers?

i am talking about using the amp and connecting it to the deck, and then using the wires running to the stereo...understand?

 

i dont want to run wires through the doors and all this and that to the amp...i want to use stock wires in stock locations...know what i mean?

Now I do...

Yes, you can use the factory wires. If you're running a four channel amp, you'd run 4 sets of speaker wires to the deck, and splice into the factory wires.

I used to do this all the time...

 

Your phrasing makes it difficult to understand exactly what you meant, but what B18C_EJ8 is right on what he said.

However, you cannot run your amp off the power and ground at the back of the hu.

Bump it again and I'll lock it. Refer to the FAQ/rules.
