HI,
Recently I installed a subwoofer into my trunk, had to disconnect the cables going to the rear deck speakers. So my rear deck are unplugged right now.
That was the only way to connect active subwoofer. I was trying to use the cables that are going to the sub's that are under the front seats, but apparently I don't have any sub's installed at all.
My question is: Can I connect my rear speakers back to the cable that is going to active subwoofer?
Will it affect the signal going to the sub or should I install any device to magnify the signal?
Any advise, highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Please tell us where are you from. Do you have an amp in the boot. If so then thats where you need to be taking the input for the sub from. If not then you can use the rear parcel shelf speakers, send it through a LOC and then use that as the input to your sub, unless your sub can take high inputs in which case you dont need the LOC. You can then put the speaker feeds back to the rear speakers and run the sub in parallel to them.
