Stereo & Electronics - Stereo Help

Hey guys, let me start off by saying I have very little knowledge when it comes to stereo related stuff. Any ways, the owner of the car vefore me put in an aftermarket stereo system in my 99 Trans Am. He put in an Alpine head unit as well as speakers, and a Kicker Amp. Problem is the amp is only a 4 channel amp so he only has 4 speakers wired up to it. My question is if there is any way I can get all 6 speakers hooked up to the system? Any ideas are appreciated.

Since the TAs came with the Monsoon system; you could wire your kicker amp outputs to the outputs of the Monsoon amp. If it were me...I would take the front channels on the Kicker amp and use them to power up your front door speakers and the rear hatch speakers, while using the rear channels on the Kicker amp to drive the sail panel subs. You would lose the fader function of the radio but you'd still have balance from left to right.

Alright, this makes sense. I'll have to look into how I would have to wire this all up though. Like I said all this stereo stuff is new to me..lol.

Honestly with a Kicker 4-ch on the front 4 speakers its not going to be worth the trouble to hook those rear ones up.

You won't really hear them unless you're behind your car with the hatch open.

LOL!! Sorry pal. In the Monsoon stereo sticky, in there it gives you a wire pin-out diagram as to which wires in which harness go where.

your amp will have enough power to do 2 speakers per channel, splice into the wires running to the rear speakers and wire them up to the hatch also. I have 4 speakers running off a 2 channel amp and they sound great.
