[Shotimes] Radio Installation Q's

[Ron Nottingham]

So, I could run the 4 powered speaker wires to the front 4 speakers (dash
and door), then use the pre-out to run to an aftermarket amp and aftermarket
speakers for the rear deck?

This is kind of the way I want go anyway (and replace the other 4 speakers
eventually).

Thanks!!!
