I have the JL440/4 amp installed using the ******** FARK harness and mounting board. Sound good.

Are you wanting to keep your trunk space or are you open to an amp that will fit outside the factory location?

I am running an Arc Audio 900/6 with the FARK kit.

When replacing with the JL audio amp do you still have all your chimes, back-up sensors, etc?

He's just asking you if you are open to the idea of using a larger more powerful amp so you can run more speakers (sub).

A physically larger amp will not fit in the location that the factory amp is mounted. The JL amp above will fit in the same space as the factory BA amp. He wants to know if you are open to mounting a physically larger amp in another part of the trunk.

If you use the ******** FARK kit I understand that all the above will function. I've been leaning towards the JL audio XD700/5 amp to make a sub easier to install later. I believe it will fit in the stock space as shown in the above pic.

I dont really care how big the amp is. I meant to say i thaught you could not use any amp besides a 4 channel one?? Is it possible to run a 5 or 6 channela mp??

Hey Steve!

I already have one of your add an amp harnesses, that I am using to run a separate amp to my aftermarket subwoofer. Now I'm thinking that I would like to add one of these jl xd 400/4 amps for my regular speakers. What other harness would I need to buy from you to get this jl amp to work with my other sub amp?
