Default New Install/front stage

I am installing a 4 chan amp in 2010 GS stock bose/nav hu, using PAC GM 24, with new component fronts on chan 1 and 2, and sub bridged on 3 and 4, using one of the rear rca’s. My question is if I do not disconnect the rear speakers behind the trim panel, will they still operate, and if so will the rear speaker and the sub, now be running on to 2 ohms instead of 4ohms?

After reading a little more in the forum, I think I found the answer to whether the rear speakers will still be operating.

If you make the adapter harness from the other thread you posted in, then you'll be tapping into the line-level signal before the stock amp, not the speaker-level signal coming out of it.

The full spectrum signal IS there.

The stock rear speakers will still work just fine if you don't disconnect them or pull the stock amp fuse, and you don't have to worry about any ohm ratings since you're tapping the line-level signal.
