thanks
i agree with the others members about that way to connect them now i will add a question for u,are u hooking something loud or just fancy bc there so many options and cuts u wont get from a factory radio,now if it isnt to go pass 120db u should b ok with a factory setup,

well u can tap from them,since those products wont take much power from ur speakers rca are low inputs into ur amp,now looks like ur putting some money,so make sure u get good wiring size at least gauge 4.i want to get one ps3 15'',but havent get the time since i want it custom with fiberglass,now remember since ur using ur factory speakers to send the signal u will need to add bass to them so the amp can produce those notes,just saying because not everyone put bass on the voices as they can get damage easier than a sub,when u get it done post some pics,i cant wait to setup my ps3,rockford are loud!!!!!!!!!!!!
