Alpine amp is using line inputs, spliced into the front speaker wires. The output from the Alpine amp is to the rear speakers. Socket C1 connector is unaltered.

What I want to do to clean this up:

Option 1: Eliminate the factory amp and just wire everything properly through the Alpine amp since its already there.

Option 2: Connect the Alpine amp to the rear outs on the head unit.
