2020 RST 8" non-bose stereo upgrade

[jashaw]

I purchased a set of these to install/upgrade my factory non-bose speakers:

I am not sure how to wire up/install the cross-overs included with the kit to the factory amp. How would I do this? I am not interested in running new wires to the speakers. I want to use the factory wiring to power the new speakers.

 

Rockford fosgate manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1339659/Rockford-Fosgate-T152-S.html?page=7#manual  I would be using the "standard mode" install.

 

Thanks!!

I surmise you'll need an amp as just changing the speakers won't make that much of a difference.  Did you confirm the order? Says temporarily out of stock.

I was hoping to use the factory amp, but i'm assuming to get the best out of the new speakers, i'll need an amp like @mafd2 states.

 

Yes, I ordered the "open box" item a few days ago the price was $200 for a set. I ordered 2 sets of them to replace all 4 speakers. 

How would I set them up using the factory speaker wiring, bypassing the factory amp, and using an aftermarket amp? With what I want to do, it looks like I need to use a loopback harness.

If you are non Bose from the factory, there is no amp.  Only the Bose has an amp.

Did you order the speaker harness?  The factory speakers have a plug that connects to the speaker.  You'll need a harness that plugs into the factory harness then to the speaker.  This keeps you from cutting the factory harness.  Not sure what colors the +/- wires are on the T1 trucks.

Yes, i did order the speaker harness. Plug-n-play to connect the 4 speakers. I have not connected the dash speakers yet.

I have the 4 speakers installed, dash tweeters, and two additional tweeters (came with the kit) installed in the rear.

 

I want to put an amp to them to fully utilize their potential.

 

The tweeters are 75w RMS, and the speakers are 100w RMS.

 

Will I need to use a 75w per channel RMS amp because of the tweeters?

 

How many channels would I need for the 4 speakers, and 4 tweeters?

 

The speakers, and tweeters are hooked up to crossovers included in the component system. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_575T1675S/Rockford-Fosgate-Power-T1675-S.html?l=C

 

I may add a sub in the future. I would need a spare channel for that.
