Great looking install. I have a question I just replaced all my factory 6x8 door speakers with Memphis Audio 6x8. I did it cause it every once in a while the passenger front door would sound blown and I new it wasn't. My question is I have two 12's Rockford Fosgate shallow mount under the rear seat. And my truck sound great. How would I put a amp to the door speakers? Seems there has to be a easier way than running all new speaker wire. I have a 2014 screw Xlt running stock stereo

You can use the Parrot harness and use an Alpine 445u amp behind the HU. Just do a search on the harness.

This is the easiest and least expensive way!

Does anyone know which Parrot harness one would use if you have the 4.2" screen in your XLT? I have a 2014 as well and am getting ready to do a speaker upgrade and would like to add an amp for the door speakers. I am either going to be installing 2 powered compact subs behind the rear seats or some shallow mounts under the rear bench as well. I don't really want to lose floor space though as I tend to flip up the seats regularly for hauling stuff inside the cab(Dogs, Packages, Guitar Gear, etc...). I get on the Parrot site and get lost when it starts asking options to find the proper kit.

Question for y'all. I'm adding a second amp for my door speakers and I'm wondering if I screwed up. When I installed my 12's in tapped the rear door speaker wire for my RCA converter. I was gonna put another converter for my door speakers I know to tap the front but do I also tap the rear again?

If you want the rears to be powered.....then yes!

With regards to the rear door speaker leads already being tapped for the line out converter on the sub amp. Could you not just split the signal off of it with a pair of RCA Y's and get signal for the sub amp and the rear channel of the amp for the door speakers?
