Installing aftermarket amplifier

[far972]

Hi All,

I am preparing to upgrade the factory system in my Boxster, I already installed new speakers in the front, as well as a new head unit. My car came with the factory amplifier mounted in the front trunk and my hope is to tie into the factory speaker wiring that runs from it.

I read on a few boards that this will save a lot of headache as opposed to running new wiring, especially to the doors. Has anyone ever done this? Any tips or gotchas to look out for?

What about the power and ground connections to the aftermarket amp, is it a straight forward install?

TIA

Only reason I didn't remove my door speaker is because it's not regular speaker. It's subwoofer instead.

You could test your door speaker and see if it is subwoofer or not by disconnecting dash board speaker and play your radio. if your still wish to remove subwoofer and install 5 1/2 inch speaker you can, but which means you have to relocate your subwoofer systerm to elsewhere.
