You confused me. If you tap into the speaker with the rca wire you will have 2 wires going to the speaker and 2 wires converted to RCA for the amp. All your doing is tapping into the feed. NOT completely cutting it off from the door speaker.
You CAN change out your door speakers and add an amp if you want but I personally wouldn't bother.

i understand about tapping into the door speakers,but i do have aftermarket in the doors also.
but to get all the door speakers amplified how do i go about it then?
do i just tap into the front speakers as well and run them to the amp?
i also have a extra set of tweets on the pilar.
i understand wiring up the sub,i will just tap into the rear speakers.(behind the seat)

i just wanna make sure i do understand.
i actually have the LOC's also,they are adjustable.
so i can use the locs for the front speakers and then tap into the rear speakers for the sub.

Yes. I had actually posted the other link at the same time you replied. You just beat me on the post.
I'd do the doors the same as your doing the Sub.
The only difference in wiring is where they go really. You can either get your front feed by tapping in behind the radio or behind each speaker. Whichever you think will be a cleaner install and allow you to hide the wires better.
Run the front and rear outputs into a 4 channel amp and then from the amp to the speakers.
Unless you are leaving the rear 4x6"s unhooked in which you would have a 2 channel amp but you get the idea.
Unless someone chimes in with a better way to do it that i'm not aware of.
