My fronts being 4" was drivin by an amp (silly i know) and now the amp pooed itself i am only running the rears off the head deck. I have taken almost everthing out, ran through the wires and check almost everything and i cant seem to find a way to simply connect the fronts to the head deck.

The fronts are connected all the way to the boot where the amp used to be. No clue how to plug them back into the head deck as they dont have the conventional way of inputing speaker wires in a stereo like that of an amp.

Are we following me?

Yea i comtemplated that but i figured it would be WAY WAY much cheaper if i just connect them to the head deck. I am sure that they can be connected. Any ideas?

Just run new wires directly from the front speakers through the doors into the back of the head unit.

the head unit loom (where it gets power) also has your speaker wires... you join the wires up to those... it doesnt have just a a screw for you to connect the wire up to like an amp.

the wires are quite thick from the fronts like normal speaker wires. And the wires from the head deck is real thin. Are you sure that they just connect that simplely?

Depending on the brand of deck the wires for the front speakers are usually.
white/white black & grey/grey black if so you can just wire them straight up.
