Look at your existing amp plug and you'll see there are [at least] 4 open pin locations for to accommodate leads for rear speakers. You just run the leads from your rear speaker [kit] to the amp. Slide the pins to correct location in harness (5/15 and 6/16 are for rears but order depends on if 996 or 986 amp as I recall). Then drop in 6x40W amp to exact same location (it's identically sized as 4x40) and Boom - Bob's your uncle!

Good luck

The connector on the 996 amp i bought wouldnt slide on but found another diy post shows to trim the tab. I bought one with the blue conn3ctor i think. But as mentioned the pin outs all same. I followed this install string

Correct, I had forgotten about that minor nuance. A 996 amp needs to have a tab easily trimmed but once done it accepts the 986 harness no problem.

only minor problem i had i didnt know how the plug connectors worked, otherwise easy job.

I am now changing to a Alpine pdx v9 and pioneer head unit hertz speakers. Big contrast in install ease
