Default Questions about the stereo.

Ok. So I just got my xB and I want to toss in my stereo steup from my old ride. I currently have 4 Boston RX67 6.5" speakers, 2 12" Blaupunkt Subs in a Competition Bandpass Box and a Jensen 300w Amp. Since the CD player in my old car died on me, I was considering purchasing a new deck, unless of course the stock Scion deck has 2 channel output for my woofer etc. I just don't really want to mess with the deck if I don't have to. Also, whats the easiest way to access the front door speakers?
Thanks.

if you wanna add an amp, u gotta use a line out convertor and tap into the rear speaker outputs...I know i sounds cheesy, but it works really really well

Form me, I use the front speaker output by taking out the head unit, it is easy there are two screw behind the aircon controls and front pannel pops out, four screws for the deck. The wires that you will be looking for on the harness are left front pink+purple-, right front lt green+ blue-. use they grey for remote unless your amp has smart techology that turns on the remote input when audio signal is detected. depends on which jensen you have. also most jensens have a good speaker level input, so save your money and don't get high to low converter.

The easiest way to get to your front speakers is to take off your front door panels, drill out the 3 rivets holding your front speakers in, and replacing them by screwing your new 6.5" into the plastic bezel. You may need a spacer - my Audiobahn ABC6003Q came with spacers for the 6.5" and for the 4", but you may need them for yours.
