[QUOTE="TommyK, post: 8873946, member: 691154"] Here's a couple more pics. I better get back to work for awhile, but in the mean time the questions I have and/or problem I'm facing is the connections from the head unit. Here's my line of thought (very possibly not the best line of thought) but since I have the head unit power pack I thought I could keep front speakers installed giving a little sound from the front and front top since they're getting a little power from the head unit booster amp. I actually moved the OEM soundbar forward by the rear view mirror and put this bigger soundbar in it's place. So the HU has the wire harness with amp connected and two polk 6.5" and two kicker 4.6" speakers attached to it. The remote wire is split and feeding the amps individually. The RCA outs are: Front L&R go to the 4 channel amps CH1 & CH2 and the Rear L&R go to CH3 & CH4. The sub out RCA's go to the RP sub amp. The 4 channel amp speakers are wired in pairs. Two 8's to a channel and two tweeters per channel. Wired each so they're reduced to 2 ohm. and the subs are wired to 1 ohm. The speakers and the amps are wired per recommendations from SKAR.
