(Unless you find an amplifier which can take the powerful speaker signal from the HK amp, but if such an amplifier exists, I am unaware of it.)

P.s. I did not install new speakers, I am just powering the underseat subs from the second amp instead of the factory HK amp.
I see! That makes sense so you have a total of 3 amps in the car. Factory HK, 1 mono for the trunk amp and another (mono or 2-channel) for the front subs? Is that correct?

For the front subs did you run new wire back or were you able to use the existing wiring after connecting the harness?
