Wireless Backup Camera & Speakers

Hi Cris I'm in the UK, in a coupe C4S, so yours maybe be different, but mine has subs on the rear shelf. I'm a bit confused as to why you would need a 5 channel amp if you don't have this? Because I want to make the system easily reversible,(in the UK, buyers are very funny about mods, and Porsche wont warrant a car with nin standard equipment) I traced the amp wires to under the plastic panels in the boot bay. I then set about identifying which wire was what, and measuring resistances before I found the very useful installation info on here. The rears are straight forward, the fronts, I basically will get the 4 wires(2 for the door and 2 for the dash) and use a jumper wire between the sub-ve and dash speaker +ve, and then wire the stereo tothe remaining 2 wires(hope this makes sense). Then, if you need to reverse the system, just cut the jumper wires. -

Just in the middle of doing the install myself. I've been an audi fitter for a few years, and to be honest, this is becoming one of the most labour intensive jobs ever!! The subs will need to be done at the rear, because as far as I have been able to tell, there is only 1 wire going to the rear from the amp area, and yes, it is 1 ohm. You will need to pumm out the sub enlosure. The front dash, and front door speakers are 2ohms each, so also need to go in series. Rear side speakers are 4ohms so easy peasy. I'm basically gonna run the 4 speakers from the stereo internal amp, and then the subs on a little monoblock amp.
