I think you would feel different if you heard a car with excellent imaging in the front stage.

If you still feel having rear fill is worthwhile, get a decent pair of rear speakers and use a crossover to take the bass out of them or they will distort.

Please describe imaging.
I have replaced the front speakers and they sound louder and clearer then the factory ones.

Doesn't getting decent rear speakers then just cutting out the bass defeat the purpose of getting them in the first place?

The hard part about this is figuring out which wire is what.

what do you mean? you've got the remote turn on wire conencted directly to the amps right now.. so just remove it from there and attatch it to terminal 85. the other 3 should be easy, as they'll probebly be wires you'll have to run.

Look I'm easily confused. Such as there was a 87a but looking at it closer that one doesn't get used.
The way I see it is this:

85 remote wire black (tape to original remote wire)
86 ground white (insert into ground on big amp)
87 power yellow (insert into power on big amp)
30 new remote blue (insert into REM on big amp and run another wire from there to second amps REM spot)

In larger systems we run everything thru relays. It helps make sure that everything runs smoothly and get the proper voltage to turn things on. It also helps to isolate everything.............
