So i'm starting to prepare my new install: 6.5 in the doors and 6.5 in the panels (no speakers are gonna be in the hatch area) powered by an amp. Anyway i decided to get rid of the speakers that are already installed because i'm gonna run completely new wires. anyway. So here's what i discovered:

This was hooked up to a sub/amp combo that came with the car.

This runs to the driver side speaker in the hatch.

This runs to the passenger side speaker in the hatch.


My question is, since i'm running brand new wires do i need to salvage any of this or can i just get rid of them all the way to the source?

Also, i found this while i was back there:



What is this for? Is it something i need to keep?

Its a shock sensor for an alarm

As stated the sensor is your alarms shock sensor. And if you're running an amp to all four speakers you can remove the wiring to the speakers from the headunit.

ok, so let me get this straight. with the new speakers, run all the new wire directly to the amp. then hook up the battery wire of course, hook up the remote wire, then 2 rca cables to the back of the hu? is that all that is required?

1. New wire to what amp? Factory amp or you are going to install a aftermarket.

2. 2 RCA cables to the the back of the headunit? Again, factory or aftermarket headunit?

3. Theres more to it but lets tackle this first...

Aftermarket.

Since it's an aftermarket headunit, correct. Run each speaker on each amp channel and connect the set of RCA's to the headunit along with the remote wire. If the 4-channel amp is older, I would test each channel before running all the wire just to make sure it works.

I know you didn't ask for this, but I'd say you should salvage the mono amp that came with the sub and shoot for a 5ch amp.

Its less wiring clutter IMO.
