Default Replace factory 6x9 amp with Alpine Amp?

I have a spare MRP-240 alpine amp. It is a 4 Channel amp but does 2 channel bridged mode at 100W a channel (great amount of power for the speakers in the door). Does anyone know how easy it would be to swap the amp under the drivers seat for my alpine?

I always get excited when I see threads like this cause I am hoping someone went ahead and did the hard work, and is going to tell us all how to do it! I dont think anyone has done it yet, but this link may help:

Also, look in the stickies on this thread. There is alot of wire diagram info that could help you. When you are finished, I expect a full DIY!

That PDF was not found on the server. I dont like the sticky because I followed it to try and hook my Alpine amp up for the Subwoofers and I used the white wire like it said, and as soon as I turn it up past 30 the subs would just turn off. I spliced it to the blue wire and it worked fine. Should have followed my car audio instincts.

I really just wanna see how hard this would be to do. I'd love to have 100 watts per channel in those 6x9s, althought I doubt they could handle all of it. I'd probably turn the gains down and cross them over properly.

I tried in my mazdaspeed 2003 to put an aftermarket amp at the same place and with the same wire than the oem one and the fuse always blows.After a little bit on research I found that the oem amp was 2ohm one and my aftermarket one was a 4ohm.On the oem audio plus pdf we can see that their amp is a 1ohm....... so I didnt try it on my car .If some one done it and its ok just say it !!! because mine too I didnt put my sub and my kenwood amp juste because I dont want to pass all of my wire lol
