Default Re: Stock Amp is 4 channels!
As far as the service manual - I found it through one of the links in this forum, I don't remember which one. I know there are a few different links out there. Do a search on "service manual", and you should be able to find one that works. If you still can't find it, send me an email directly and I'll send it to you.

What I actually did was snip the wires on the amp input pins about 3" from the amp, then ran wires from there to my head unit pre-amp outputs. Picture below shows this. Note the two pairs (one yellow, one blue) of wires sticking up on the right. I just left these hanging, as they're the ones that go back to the splice (which I was too lazy to try & go find) and from there to the original head unit. The wires coming out of the amp, though, I connected to some old speaker wire I had laying around (one brown pair and one white pair) with crimp connectors, wound the wires around the cable bundle and routed them back to the head unit preamp outputs, which (in my case) were separate RCA jacks.



I suppose I could have wired around the AMP to the outputs, but one of my goals was to fully retain the speed sensitive volume adjustments that the AMP does. Wiring to the input side lets the amp adjust all of the speakers. I did not have to touch any of the wires going to the speakers themselves.
