Yes, uh obviously, I thought that that was a given. The RCA's only provide an audio signal, not any real power.

K wat i am doing is I am running the rear-left and right speaker (-)(+) (-) (+) outlets of my amp for my sub.

The front Left and right speakers (-) (+) (-) (+) of my amp i am trying to use for all 4 of my speakers and plus 2 tweeters.

Is this how its soppose to be hooked up?

car speak wire = amp

(R) front and rear speak (-) = (R) front (-)
(R) front and rear speak (+) = (R) front (+)

(L) front and reak speak (-) = (L) front (-)
(L) front and rear speak (+) = (L) front (+)

Why don't you run your front speakers from the alpine HU,
then use your amp for the back speakers and the sub.

If he just runs the back speakers and sub off of the rear inputs...he will either have 40 watts continuous power thru all speakers or 150 watts bridged to the rear and subs...wouldn't sound good.

I'm didn't say run both the rears and sub off rear input.
Set the amp up as a 3 channel.
Use the front input for the rear speakers.
Use the reap input for the sub. Set crossover to LP for sub freq.

That would work.....but hooking up the front speakers would be the trick...not unless you are wiring the front and rear speakers together to run on the front channel. Too much rigging...I say get another mono amp and run the subs.

Astralplane's suggestion would work if vltnolia used a crossover to divi-up the HU's rear output going into the AMP, that way there would be two separate channels for the AMP to read.
