I have a 6-disc in dash (2001 Stock) and I wanted to know if it is Possible to just connect an amp, without removing any rear speakers to connect the convertors to? Sorry, but I'm not too keen on installations.

The converter goes directly behind the head unit. How you connect the amp is another issue. I personally ran new wire straight from the amp to the speakers, eliminating all of the stock wiring. But you could run wire back to the stock wiring harness behind the head unit. That'd be pretty easy to do, but your sending your signal from the front to the back for the amp, then to the front only to be sent to the rear speakers. Seems like there'd be alot of power loss along the way. The stock speaker wire is only what, 18-22 gauge, so replacing it with even some moster cable 16 gauge would be ahuge imporvement.

The rear speakers are by far easier to deal with than the fronts btw. Especially when adding new wire, as the front door gronets still have part of my hand attached.
