I was wondering if it's possible to replace my Nakamichi amp. with an aftermarket 4 chanel amp. but I would like to keep my stock radio.
One more question: Can I use power from stock harness or I'm going to have to get power all the way from the battery.
I don't want really powerfull amp. about 50w+4 plus I have to figure something out with the sub.

Thanks.

Yes,

You can replace the amp with an aftermarket, but you will need either a line driver, or an amp that can read very low input levels. The Nak and the Pioneer both put out a very low line level signal that may need to be boosted based on what amp you select.

You will need to run at least an 8ga wire from front to back. Fairly easy in an SC down the drivers side of the car.

does your nak amp work okay? It's a 5 channel amp, btw. I added a 200w mono sub amp, new sub, and used the speaker-level outputs from the sub section of the Nak amp - the Xtant amp I used has 5 input sensitivity levels, so it was easy to match up. I pulled 4gauge wire from the battery for the sub amp. The Nak has enough power for the fill channels, and I plan to upgrade the rest of the speakers too.

The sub amp and new sub were a great first step - it sounds waaaaaay better
