audio help

Ive got an 05 coupe and I want to to a whole audio makeover. Im goin to put in a four channel amp. Can I put this amp in the existing place as the factory one? What would be involved in doing so? I basically dont want to have to re-run speaker wire all over the place. And does anybody have any pics of how to remove the rear panels, I cant view the pictures in the other post.

If you have Bose, it's six channels 2x front speakers & tweeters, 2x rear speakers, and 2x rear deck woofers.

You can re-use the wiring, except for the amp main power wire and ground, those you will have to re-run. But since you say you're doing a whole audio makeover, spend the extra $20 and couple of hours to run new wires.

You have to be more specific as to which rear panels you're talking about.

Sorry my car is a non-bose system. I plan on running an amp wiring kit so I knew I was going to run those wires. Im talking about the rear panels by the back seat.

Okay, you said reuse the factory amp, so I assumed you were talking Bose, since there is no factory amp in a non-bose.

So you can reuse wiring in the doors if you don't want to re-run that, but you'll have to do all the wiring from the HU to the trunk and from the trunk to the doors and rear panels.

You will be running wire all over the place.
