I decided to upgrade my kizashi/2012 Base model and it turns out huge upgrade for my car I Use 520W 4 channel Pioneer Amplifier for speakers and use OEM speakers with no change.
and also I use KAC-8106D sub-woofer amplifier for Pioneer TS-W261D4 subwoofer and use Box for that.
here is some picture of system on trunk.

- OEM subwoofer is not Rockford sub but it is good enough for me. I have to cut a hole in back of my trunk not so hard i think.

Hi Saeed,

Looks good. A few questions if you don't mind:

- where does the existing Suzuki subwoofer wire head back to? The side of the boot (where the Rockford amp would have sat) or all the way back to the head unit?
- also what signal did you feed the 4-channel amp? Via those yellow RCA's from the head unit? Or via inputs from the existing speakers?

hi aranciata-oz,

as you can see in below schematic 2 wires are used to send subwoofer signal from HU to subwoofer: GREY and GRN/YEL

I replaced OEM headunit with aftermarket android unit(ATOTO A6) and also use Kenwood amplifier so I cut these 2 wires and send it to Kenwood amplifier which I placed it on OEM AMP spot(which you can see on my previous post) and send it back to subwoofer.

In 4 channel amp I used same process, RCA output of my HU and send it Poineer amplifer and send it back to my HU and connect those wires to OEM connector (G248)

Another question Saeed ... where did you source your power for both amps? Did you run a fused power cable directly to the amp/s? If so, where did you run the through the car ie. which side of the car/under which carpet etc?

I get battery power from Relay Box No.2(below glove box) as you can see in below picture fuse 71(20A) is dedicated for Rockford AMP but in my car there is no power on it so I use Fuse 61 and get power from it.

I have an idea to add rear center speaker to my kizashi so I bought front center speaker from megazip
39102-57LD0-000 SPEAKER ASSY,CTR, Suzuki
and install it on back of my car beside subwoofer.
