Ive seen the Front Door Connectors you got to drill out and such to run new speaker wire but is it easier for the rears. I'm gonna run JL AUDIO 6 1/2 Mid-Subs in Rear doors and it would pay in power for me to bridge the rear channel of my amp to get down to 2 ohms(Yes its a 2 ohm stable Punch AMP) and double up the power to them, but now that I think about it couldn't I do it from under the front seat with whats there, I'm old been awhile forget all the parallel and series stuff...lol Now I got to go look it up, may have answered my own question.

I guess this is what I want to do, could I do this with the factory wiring under the front seat, i think I can???? Hmmm

Would this work:
AMP-Left Rear(POS+) to Left Rear(POS+) Speaker wire under seat and Right rear(POS+) under seat, Twist the 2 together and wire to AMP????
AMP-Left Rear(NEG-) to Left Rear(NEG-) Speaker wire under seat and Right rear(NEG-) under seat, Twist the 2 together and wire to AMP????
Would the above give me the above with TWO 4 ohm single voice coil subwoofers? As in the picture in post above?
I'm not sure you can wire it this way awnd get 2 ohm load, but it is the same thing just different..lol
I wrote this and am lost. lol
Going to bed, thanks for help fellas, hopefully it will make more sense in morning.

Actually my amp can only do 4 ohm bridged so id have to get 2 of the 8ohm JL Audio Subs for the rear doors and wire in Parallel to get 4ohm load. That positive to positive aqnd negative to negative, would that work iof i just ran from under seat?
So that would mean take both positives to positive and negative to negative. Can I do that without rewiring rears?

Yes, you can, but I wouldn't. If you are running subs (even small subs) the factory wiring is not going to be adequate. Short term you can get away with it until you get up the courage to run the wires.
I hope you are going to sound deaden the heck out of the doors, by the way.
