No harm no foul.

I know the feeling of having new equipment just sitting there waiting to be installed but other priorities in life must come first because for some reason, those bills keep showing up every month.

How are you guys running your speaker wire to the front doors? The harness inside my front doors do not have any space to run new wire through. My truck is a Lariat Ultimate incase that info is needed.

I just used the stock wiring for the midbass. 250ish watts in a short run like that shouldn't have any issues at all.

Did you just buy new harness connectors for the speakers or did you cut the harness off the factory speaker?

Hi I drilled holes through the front doors and the front kick panels and ran a new rubber boot.

I cut the connector off the factory lead and put some push connectors on. Then just plugged my speakers in.

I tapped in to the factory wire at kicks (blue male/female connectors). I'm running 200 watts to each door on the factory run with no issues. Pic doesn't show 14 gauge plugged in. Pic was when I was verifying polarity and wire colors. I cut ends off factory wiring in door and did my own connectors for speakers. Same thing for rear speakers with no issues.

How'd you run the wires through the doors? That just looked like a total pain in the *** to me. 3 feet of stock wiring isnt going to give you any noticeable differences so I just reused what was already ran.

Love the old PPI Art Amps! I’m running an A600 in my jeep on a SA-8 V2 duel 2ohm sub still.
