Amp / Speakers question

[xtreme_boi]

OK,

This question has been going around my head for the past few days. I am thinking about setting up an Amp and Sub in my Clio, also planning to run the front coax's from the amp and run the rear coax's from the H/U.

So the question I have is, if I am running the front coax's from the Amp, do I simply run a speaker wire from the amp the the front (to the coax's). Do I disconnet the speaker wire from the H.U, Then simply connect the speaker wire from the amp to the coax's. Do I need to cut the speaker wire running from the H/U, or can I just cover the spades (to stop the touching any metal) and tuck the wire away in the door where it currently is?

Maybe a simple question, but I just wanna check

yes if you have a 4 channel amp, bridging 2 channels for the sub and using 2 for the fronts.

You can tape up the spades or disconect at the back of the H/U however you need to use a head unit with pre outs adn I don't believe the standar one has?

Ah cool.

I don't have a standard unit, I have got an Alpine CDA-9812RB, so it does have 'Pre Outs'
