Re: speaker wireing help

its possible, but i would not reccomend it, reduces sound quality, and really strains the speaker.

i would go with the kick panel speakers.

Re: speaker wireing help

I would buy an amp and then run your two speakers off that.. it would sound better. then all you would have to work is power. ground. remote wires. then run speaker wires from your amp to speaker

Re: speaker wireing help

You generally can't bridge the amp on a deck. You can solve this issue however by buying two small speakers and placing them under the dash, then wire accordingly.
