You'll use the front and rear RCA's shown in the top right corner of this picture, as well as the (blue/white strip) for the remote amp turn on lead. As far as I can read it anyway... its a smaller picture on my laptop.

But that should be it. Other than power and ground to the amp, and new speaker wire from the amp to each of the speakers.

what 4-CH amp is that running off the wiring harness assembly?

As far as 4 rear speakers, do you mean 4 independent coaxials? Or a set of components (4 speakers in total)?

That's some small little control module/amp that comes with the system. It's a kenwood z910dvd. I don't know what you mean by independent coaxials. Just 4 5x9 speakers to go in the roof well.

Wait a sec... your going to run 4 speakers on the rear channel in the rear tray. That info might have be useful to me this morning

Well I'll just add on to what I stated before.

You'll want to amp these and then drive them 2ohm. Find some nice speakers that can be driven under a 2 ohm load. Not a big deal though. Do you have a hardtop with the soft top removed or something? Because you must realize that as soon as you put the top down your going to muffle the crap out of what ever you have back there except maybe a sub.

yes I have a hardtop with softop removed. thanks for the info. I'm thinking I may be able to do away with that little control module thing.

One more question, from what I can remember I did splice the rear channel wires(green&purple) to the s2k wire harness but there are no speaker wires in the rear. If honda didn't intend on running rear speakers where do those wires go to?

Actually that 4 channel amp shows 2 front and 2 rear given the reference to the A and B leads. I presume those correspond to the A and B labels in the upper right hand side of the diagram for outputs.

If you are placing all 4 of these channels in the rear, what are you doing for sound in the front?

I was planning on running the rear speakers in series if it will work and splicing to the rear leads. Front will be left untouched.

okay here's what I'm thinking now. Leave the system intact except take the speaker wires on the bottom left(are now connected to harness) and connect them to speaker level inputs on the amp then run new wires from the outputs on the amp to the speakers. Do you think this will work? This will require a 2 channel amp correct?
