the hu isn't connected to the stock amp though is it? just the rca's go from the hu directly to the amp

well if you have all of the wiring harness connected from the headunit it is. i have heard about a lot of issues from running speakers through the stock amp to an aftermarket amp. ive never done it personally because i always just wired it right the first time

Yeah I get you, its pretty ghetto rigged back there. Is there any way to improve my setup with just the wiring I have? Like should I have both the speaker wire and RCA's from the HU hooked up to the amp?

I realize the complete rewiring would be optimal, but I might save that for spring as I just put in a self rebuilt tranny and bought a new engine, and its winter and the work killed me all summer.

not really, speaker wire is cheap tho. i recently picked up a spool of it off ebay for 20 bucks, was 12 awg which is overkill too. lol

i did mine during last winter, not too bad. i didnt strip everything out of my vehicle. but then again i was doing this in a single cab truck. there really isnt anything you can do to improve it other then doing it right.
