I don't know much about amps and stuff, but I managed to hook up my RF 4 ch amp. I only have the rears hooked up though, any easy way to get the fronts? Do I have to buy extra long speaker wires?

Default where is your amp

I will assume it is in your trunk. then you do need to get long speaker wires to go back to the front.

there are couple ways to hook up the wires depends on your setup like do you use stock radio? after market HU?

Since you have your amp hook up, you should have experience wiring it back to the front.

Default oh

you said u have ur amp hooked up, so u w have the power wire running one side of the panel, right?

and you should have the speakers to line converter installed already like my old setup cause RF don't have speaker level in, right?

then just buy some new speaker wire, from the amp to the stock radio where you could find the front speaker wire. just hook them up, and u all set. run the wire the same as your RCA line and remote turn on wire.

to me, the hard part for u should be finding the stock speaker wire for the front. but if you can find the rear, u should find the front too.

good luck

I have it se up with the high input wires. I want to get the high ones for the front, do I have to open the stock radio up? I forgot to mention that I had a two channel one previously, I kinda just connected the dots. I am a definite noob.

Default now you lost me

what is high input wires?

high ones for the front-> you mean high frequency out put for the front, right?

you had a 2 ch. b4, did it hook up with the front as well or only for the rear?

if the 2 ch. hooked up with the front b4, just find your speaker wires previously installed and wire it to your 4 ch. amp

if not, you have 2 choices wiring the front.
From the Amp out, through the side panel, to each front side,
either you -> 1. route your wire through the door tunnel to your door speaker.
or you -> 2. open up your stock radio, find ur stock wire for the front, and connect them right there.

remember you have 6 speakers for the front, 3 on each side, you want to use them all right? you need a Xover for that purpose.

connect your wire from the amp to the cross over, from the xover, you split ur signal to 3 sets of wires, set the frequency, connect them to 3 sets of speakers.

that is it
