Question about amplify
For now I have Infinity Kappa in front & back and a 400w amp but a stock stereo + CD changer. Can I take the speaker level signal from stock deck and feed into the amp to drive the speaker?? or I have to have a deck with reamp output?? I know that some amp can do this but I would like to know for sure how the amplify works in general.

For wiring question:
From the stock deck there are 8 wires coming out to 4 speakers
- Front right (+) and (-)
- Front left (+) and (-)
- Rear right (+) and (-)
- Rear left (+) and (-)
How many line-level converter do I need?? Do I have to combine them first?? Basically how do you wire these outputs to line-level converter and then to the amp??

I guess you figured out your amp only does low level inputs.
Most line level converter are 2 channel but there are 4 channel ones as well. Check out the link below...basically all of the HU highlevel speaker wires connect into the converter.

DO NOT COMBINE (BRIDGE) ANY OF THE DECK's speaker wires with each other! Deck amps are not bridgable....very very few aftermarket deck were stable at 2ohms.. older rockford decks were... but anyways...

The local store carries Scosche SLC-4 (4 channels) for $16, will go there after work!!
