if i buy an aftermarket amp, how can i hook it up, without re-wiring all speakers? I was told there is an amp at the back for the REAR speakers, and an amp in each front door. so total 3 amps. Any help will be really nice
i am doing this on a QX4 with BOSE.

There are several threads concerning the wiring colors to connect to (I posted them a few says ago somewhere) and others telling you how to effectively remove the Bose amp and put another in its place. I have done this to my sedan.
I have a JL Audio 500/5 for sale that I used to have in my coupe that was connected in this manner as well and would be perfect.

The amp(s) you get will dictate the power wire size that you need to run unless you already have a 1 gauge power wire running to your carputer.
A 500/5 will run 4 channels and a sub.
I doubt the wire colors are the same for the G35 and the QX4.
Here are the wire colors.
