Amp Speaker Wires...New wires or factory?
I am hooking up a 4 channel amp for my door speakers. Should I run the speaker wire back up behind the dash and connect to the factory speaker wire or should I reroute new wire?

whats the rms rating of the amp? if its low enough for the factory wires to support then just run them to behind the h/u and save your self all the time and hassle.

50Watts RMS (Rockford Fosgate 400-4)
What is the max you should run through your factory speaker wire?

not sure on a max but you should be just fine running that through your factory wires. and it saves lots of install time also

The highest i would go on Ford wire is 100-125. But it depends on the setup.
