What wires are you looking for exactly? Youll need to run a power cable off the battery to the amp, a remote lead, then connect the subs to the amp. Be a little more specific for me, plz. Have you wired a car before at all yourself? Are you keeping the Shaker HU?

I have it hooked up now. but i have a slight problem.
Since the Shaker doesnt have any rca jacks, i got an adapter to go from rca to lug cables to hook into the wires on the rear speakers...
everything works great now, but it seems like the amp is feeding back to the speakers and it hits on the rear speakers as well. almost like they are trying to be subs.
however, my subs are working great.

any ideas?

Draw it out for me.. amp wired into what, into what, into what.. where's everything run? Im having a hard time picturing it.

The positive and negative from the subs can be ran straight from the subs into the rear speakers.. amp should only be powering the subs, never crossing power to the speakers. If its knocking the speakers, its probably gonna generate feedback just from being that close to them.

Jon, looks like you are posting in multiple spots. I answered your question in the main forum where you originally posted. You may want to post this in the mods section under audio since this is not a V6 performance related issue.
