This amplifier has speaker level inputs, so to make it easier just tap into your stock head unit front and rear speaker wires and run it to the amplifier, the amplifier comes with a speaker wire input connector with bare wires at the other end to make the connection. You could also get a hi low converter to convert the speaker level output from your head unit to low voltage output, and connect rca`s to that and run the rca`s back to the amplifier. Once your speaker level inputs/rca`s are connected to the amplifier, you would need to run 14 - 16 gauge speaker wire from the amp to each of your 4 speakers. Now your amp needs power, I`d recommend a 4 gauge wiring kit(in case you want to upgrade in the future and for headroom), with a maximum fuse rating of 60 amps, with fuse connected not more than 30cm from the battery. Make a proper ground connection as close as possible to the amplifier. With a stock head unit, you probably won`t have a remote turn on lead, so you would have to run a wire from your car ignition switch, some people tap into the cigarette lighter, just ensure that the wire you tap into is 0 volts when the car is switched off and 12 volts when the car`s ignition is switched on.

8awg power wire w/ in line 50 amp fuse from batt, 8awg ground wire at amp. All you need to do is splice your factory speaker wire from the hu to the included speaker level harness that snaps into the amp, then run wire to your speakers. I just snipped the speaker wire behind the hu, and ran two sets of wires. One ran from hu to harness at amp, other set ran back to the factory speaker wires and spliced in so I did not have to run wires to each speaker

You need the speakers and a set of cables to connect everything. It is really a cool thing in the car, we can make disco-parties in our yard as the sound is really strong, clear and loud!

Are you talking to install it with a stock head unit? You do not need a converter box. This amplifier has a line/speaker level input that allows you to connect the speakers wires from your rear component speakers directly to the amplifier (you do not need RCA cables), you can splice into the rear speaker line on your stock system so you can keep the stock rear speakers and add the subs. You can then adjust the frequency filter on the amplifier for low frequency output to the subwoofer. Let me know if you have any more questions about this as this is exactly how I have this hooked up with my stock head unit running a Kicker L7 15" Solo Baric subwoofer, it pounds pretty good!

Any headunit can be used to sound your system. I'm full satisfed with my CDE 135 BT for all options invluded. But I miss an crossover / level for each front & rear output. This option only loaded for sub output. No problem for your system - double check your system impedance.

I'll tell you what i did. I connected the Autotek speakers 6.5 in the front with the a pair rear speakers to an amp. The amp is a 400 watt 4 channel. Then i connected a ten inch sub, to a mono amp. So i have two amps in my car, and they sound great. I just looked for a good stereo dealer and had him connect everything. I am really loving the sound I'am getting.

You'll need wires for the rear speakers if you want to put them in a surround sound set up, any wire will do, no need to spend a lot

Seth Lyon said it best. Yes u can run 6 speakers. I installed unit myself. And had to crack the dash open again. Cause I set all of em to high pass. So make sure u dial it in first before u slap everything back together. Lol. Just instal a couple filters. When u splice into the front speaker channels and u should be golden pony boy

I am not sure what a FH/FW speaker is? Any speaker with stanard audio wiring should be able to plug right into the rear jacks. Just make sure they are in the correct left/right inputs.

The rear panel only has outputs for 5 speakers and the sub-woofer. Adding remote speakers would require an external speaker switch.

Run the amps from the pre-amp outputs on your receiver. YOu should have at least two sets of pre-amp outs

If the cab is stereo and has left and right inputs , and the head has matching outputs then you need two .

I would buy 1 kac amp for the front and rear speakers and a 2ch for both subs.

You will need a receiver that will power the speakers. Also an RCA cable for the Subwoofer input.

A standard 5.1 channel home theater receiver will power the speakers. It's a bit of an odd setup, but let's see if I can explain it: the two front speakers plug into the subwoofer directly using standard speaker wire (use 16-gauge for best results). There are two additional speaker connections on the back of the subwoofer that go out to power the front speakers. I hope this helps and please let me know if I can help more.

Although I use it for the rear speaker setup I'm sure it will work just fine for a front connection. My setup is a 7.1 arrangement.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

There is a sub woofer RCA jack on the back side, if you need two RCA connects buy a splitter from some store like best buy or radio shack. The other way I have connected a sub is to attach in series with the other forward speakers with speaker wire.

Yes. You can use the 6th and 7th surround channels to bi-amp the fronts. I haven't done this but I've read that's how you do it. You'll need a couple Y adapters.
