connecting multiple amps???

I currently have the BOSE system with an amp & sub connected via LOC. I want to connect another amp for the 6 1/2's inside. I'm figuring i can connect it the same way as far as the power, ground and remote. But not to sure of what speaker wires to run to the amp. I sure dont want to have to run new speaker wires from all 4 doors to the amp. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Then connect the other amp to the front speaker outputs.

well you can get a 4 channel amp and power all your speakers and use a 4 channel LOC so you dont lose all the features

-what speaker wires would i connect to the 4 channel amp?
-would i just tap into the 4 speakers and make the wires longer and run them to the amp?
-since i have the sub amp connected to the rear speakers can i use a 2 rca Y adaptors into the current LOC so that i can keep the fade?

Is your sub amp inputs conncted straight to the rear speakers?

You can tap into the front and rear audio signal from the HU at the Bose amp.Get the signal BEFORE it enters the bose amp.

Then tap into the audio signal at the Bose amp. Your sub will perform better if you get the signal there too - before the signal goes into the amp.
