i have a 4 channel amp and i wanna amp all 4 of my speakers. what do i have to hook up? battery, ground, remote? rca?... and do i tap into each speaker positive (+) and negative (-) ??? anyone have a write up or can help me out? thanks

 

if you have an aftermarket HU run two speaker wires up to the deck, so you can hook it up directly to your door speakers, instead of hassling thru your doors, and just run a direct wire to the rears.

 

can't i just tap into the deck's harness? wont that be a lot easier?

yes.

 

Dont tap into them, use them. What I mean is terminate(put crimp caps on the end of) the speaker leads out of the deck. Some noobs think they can get more power by hooking up the deck amp and the 4ch together. Please dont make this mistake.
