Now that you're here, though... Did you use your factory amp or did you use the one built into your head unit?
I'm currently planning on using the old Haes 4x40, but wonder about the wiring...
At the time, there were no higher resolution cameras, that seems to have changed, but it's hard to tell.

I used my factory amp (the Haes 4x40) though I did acquire a 6x40 from a 911 Cab, just haven't used it. For my girlfriends car (which had a 2-DIN MOST head unit with CD-based Navigation), I installed an inexpensive Kenwood KAC-M3004 Class-D amplifier in the factory location with a homemade adapter (salvaged from a Haes 4x40 amp) for plug-and-play action on the speaker wiring. I had to run 2 RCA cables and a remote wire from the head unit to the frunk, but that was no big deal.

If I were to do it again, I'd go the route I went with the girlfriends car and use that Kenwood (or similar) amplifier. They're nice and compact, but have fantastic sound.
