adding aftermarket amp
If I add a 500w kenwood amp to power my aftermarket door and hatch speakers could i leave the factory monsoon amp in to power the sail panel speakers?
If i can how would i wire the remote turn on for the aftermarket amp when the power control wire coming out of my aftermarket kenwood HU already has the factory amp remote turn on hooked to it?

The factory amp doesn't use a remote turn-on wire. It turns on using signal sensing on the speaker input wires. So the head unit's remote turn-on wire is available for your aftermarket amp.

thanks my HU is a kenwood KDC-MP438U im not sure if it can have speaker output and RCA at the same time but i will look into it.
Also i currently have the blue and white wire(power control) connected from the head unit to the wiring harness which also had a blue/white wire so i assumed it was for the amp. what would i have connected to the power control if its not the amp?
