2001 Ram 2500 stereo speaker wiring....

Ok, I found the old speakers and it seems the amp is
integrated into the speaker. Large 10 pin conn that comes
from the radio/cd player. I'm wondering if I can use this
amp to power the speakers decent enough until I replace
the entire system later in the year. Any thoughts?

Why not just buy a wire harness from your local car stereo shop? About
$10 and just plug it in, no splicing and all wire functions are labeled
for you.

If it's the Infinity system each front door speaker has an amp mounted on
it. If it's a QC, the rear door speakers are wired through the front door
speaker amps too. The head unit doesn't have enough power to drive regular
speakers without an amp being added.
