Default Please help!!! Adding an amp. !! Can't find the answer on here

Hey guys I'm havin a ton of trouble finding answers.
Here it is. I have the mygig h/u nav DVD etc.
Upgraded speakers in front and roll bar.
My question is what is the best way to add an amplifier for
the 4 upgraded speaker. And a seperate amp for a sub.
I have read about the pac c2a-chy2 (amp integration interface) for can bus system
this harness only has 2 RCA outputs front and rear.
Can I use this harness or is there a better way.
Should I use a line out converter?
I don't have a clue.
Also if I hook up the amp for my 4 upgraded speAkers do I need
to run new speaker wires from amp to speakers?
Please any help is greatly appreciated.
If anyone has any diagrams or can draw me a diagram that
would be great.
Thanks

I will try to point you in the right direction. but its hard not knowing what amp/speakers your running.

basically you can use the stock wiring up to a point. but not knowing your eqipment is limiting what i can suggest.

sending a link to you via pm, wondering if you seen this yet or not.

do you have the factory infinity system?

nope dont buy that harness waste of money in my opinion. get you one of these http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...AC_SNI-15.aspx and 2 of these http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3237128 they dont have to be that exact Y spliter or anything radio shack has some cheaper ones that work good but they wernt online. just connect the pac converter to the speaker wires to the back of your mygig (i like to use some of these http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e5.../connector.jpg) these are the wires you will be looking for:

RIGHT FRONT speaker wires:
+ (positive) Dark Green with a Violet Stripe
- (negative) Dark Green with a Yellow Stripe

LEFT FRONT speaker wires:
+ (positive) Gray with Violet Stripe
- (negative) Gray with Yellow Stripe

then connect both y splitters to the pac converter then run RCAs then your good.

and for the remote wire from the amps i just ran it to the cigaret lighter (the wire with the yellow stripe going to the cig lighter is pos+) then used the connector to connect it and all works well.

and YES you have to run the speaker wire from the amp to all of the speakers.

oh ya im assuming you dont have the stock infinty system. if you do you have to connect your pac converter down at the infinity amp out put speaker wires or you will not get volume controll for your sub or speakers.

any questions let me know i will do my best to help!

Wouldn't you need two of those PACs? One for front and one for rear so you can still use discrete fading? Just curious as I will need to do this at some point.
