Audio system ?
ok i have an 04/no nav. bose equipped. I plan on running a DD touchscreen, new speakers, and two amps. One amp will be for the speakers and the other to power a sub. I already have the car wired for the sub. But my question is, can i use the speaker wires for the stock speakers and hook them up to a different amp. I just want my front and rear(not the deck speakers) to run off the amp. Also how can i stil keep my tweeters? thanks!

I would just use the stock speaker wires....those who have run new speaker wires in the doors say it was a major PITA.

ok great replies! how do u know what color each speaker wire is. Is there a diagrahm or anything? Also how many watts is too much for just the speakers? thanks alot!
BTW looking at boston acoustics for the speakers. mayeb JL for the amp/sub. dont need a top of line system, just something that sounds good and better than this bose crap.

If you're talking about power & ground I wouldn't. Your new amp will require more power and you should run a new fused wire directly from your battery. There are several places in the trunk to run it's own ground. You can use the factory remote/turn-on wire for your head unit and amps.
It's definitely easier to use the factory wires for the front speakers and you can mount the tweeters in the factory location as well, if they're seperate.
