Hello "36",

Thanks for your comment, that is certainly worth checking although the wiring is from a ready made kit. If you are correct a switch to turn off the back two speakers should help leaving just the two speakers n the kick panels. Thanks.

Don, no disrespect intended and JMHO, but if you have to switch components off to operate other components, there is a problem with your wiring irregardless of whose or which wiring harness you have.

Usually, stereo power amps are wired directly to the battery (through a fuse of course) and switched on/off by your receiver’s remote wire. Often with high powered stereo amps/system a larger alternator and battery capacity are needed. However even with a larger alternator and battery capacities, if the wire between the alternator and battery is not enlarged problems will often persist. An undersized wire can’t carry the current demand, as current increases the wire gets hot and resistance goes up lowering voltage and the battery does not charge. This can lead to melt downs and fires.

Please don’t misunderstand me, not trying to be a bully or anything else, just trying be sure you are safe.
