What's up guys, I'm new to this board but have been on *ahem* another 9th gen board but haven't been able to get the answers I need. I'm a novice installer getting help from a former pro installer, but I'd like to do as much of the install myself as possible. I will list specifics at the end, but basically I'm installing a 5 channel amp, 4 new speakers, tweeters, and a sub in my 2012 ex coupe (with premium audio). I already have the rear speakers, sub, and amp installed and working. I still have the doors to do. I got my speaker level inputs for the rears from the speaker wires attached to the rear speakers and my sub input (rca) from the sub and a LOC. I have already installed the speaker/tweeter for the passenger side, and mounted the tweeter on the drivers side. The install/mount for the drivers speaker should be pretty easy since I've already done it on the passenger side, but the only thing I have left and have major questions on is where to get the speaker level inputs for the amp.

I have seen the wiring diagram posted by immajackuup, and it does help, but I was told by someone that it would be best to take the inputs after the factory amp, and the factory amp puts out a mid and tweet for the fronts. To me, this means that those are limited frequency and not full range. Where should I get my speaker level, full signal inputs for my amp for the front speakers?


Amp: http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/mrx-v70/
Front components: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/t165-s
Rear coaxials: http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/sps-610/
Sub: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Subwoofers/Shallow+Mount/TS-SW2501S2|S4 (I got S4, 4ohm)
Box: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Sub-Enclosures-and-Grilles/UD-SW100D

I basically picked things based on specs vs deals I could get on them, so I ended up with all of this for less than 650$, wired it up with a true 4g install kit and a 60 amp fuse.

Thanks for the reply webby! Unfortunately that thread doesn't answer the question, it is going over speaker level input for the sub channel. I already have the sub wired, and there is mention of rear speakers in there too but those are also already done.

I believe I've figured it out- I'm going to get it from the factory amp outputs under the drivers dash above the break pedal. The only thing I'm still not sure on is if the door speakers are receiving a full range signal... The factory amp has outputs for both speakers and tweeters for the front doors so I'm not sure if the factory amp is restricting frequencies... but we will see.

Factory amp attenuates frequencies per channel. I don't think any channels are truly full range.

Thanks for the reply Bulky, I wired the door speaker output from my factory amp to my speaker level inputs on my after market amp and it sounds great, so whatever the frequency range is, it's adequate.
