Are you talking about amping up yor front speakers with an aftermarket amp or are you trying to run an aftermarket amp with speaker level inputs?
As for wiring through the molex in the door...I dont have the actual link right now but go to www.the12volt.com theres a how to with good detail on how to wire through a door.

THis what your looking to do?







was a pain to drill out the plug, but worked out well. I ran 2 lines into the door, one 12 guage and one 16 guage for my tweets.

I am running a Rockford Fosgate 360.1 off the stock head unit to a 5 channel amp in the trunk, all my wires run to the trunk. (you could just as easily run a line output Converter from the rear speakers to the amp)

I'v always ran it through the factory wire harness apparantly going through the factory amp sounded great . I think the amp is giving me a ground loop because i get a horrible shreeking noise coming out of my speakers when i turn it on . its not the convention low altanator wine its liek a banshee is stuck in my speakers. I assummed i would just individualaly wire each speaker to my aftermarket amp. I have all powerbass 3XL series components and 6x9's they sound incredible. oh yeah one other thing when i just turn on the acc of the car and dont start my car its deafening how loud the shreek is. low voltage ? thanks in advance

I was going to do the same thing I did in the red car in my other one (before I sold it) for JBL GTI equipment, but use 2 runs of 10 Awg speaker wire and had plenty of room. I'll add a couple more pics to see where the wires ended up.






the wires run to the underside of the rear deck (right behind the seats) to the crossovers (I have the same 6.5" Diamond D6 components at each corner) and then to the Amp mounted on Plexi under the rear deck.
