Thanks for that , but what would I do look how short it is ? That's never going to be able to go from the stereo to the amp

It best be :), il report back when it arrives

Got some JL Audio speakers 225/50 rms , through just the sqr88 it sounds great, much much better than the 4x vibe slick 50s set up I had in the is

Is it worth running the amp ? Will it give a better sound than the stereo even tho the 4x25 is the same? What sort if difference will it make ?

I've been running the same head unit and amp for two years now and to be honest, the amp is being replaced with a BQA160.

Lead arrived Barry, fits the cable I've got now making it male on each end is that correct ? Not removed the stereo yet

What other cables will I need and where's best place to put it ? I need to just hook it up 1st and make sure it works and sounds good or if maybe to get a 4x50 rms amp as the speakers are 50 and 60 rms
