you can buy one that's 4 channels instead of 2, cost a few bucks more ..[/quote]
Is it a 2 channel in, 4 channel out?[/quote]
you can buy then 4 channel in 4 channel out
same with the 2 channel model.
how many speaker channels does the alpine have ?

I haven't pulled the stereo out yet, but I am assuming it will be 2 channel. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will be 4.

you can always use an rca '' y '' splitter at the amp to go from 2 to 4 channel input.

Yeah, I guess that is an option. I am going to pull the stereo today. Who knows, if I don't like what I see, I may just replace the stereo. I have been looking at some gear, including a stereo with a screen on it and maybe putting in a back up camera. The speaker cabinets I have made, block the side windows out the back and it would be nice to have a rear view camera....or at least that's the excuse I am giving myself.
OK, got the stereo out of the car. It is indeed a 2 channel system, with a DIN plug for an amp and speaker connections. But no RCA outs 
I also found the original manual with my cars owners manual paperwork.
I opened it up, cleaned the controls for volume and treble/bass, but did not do the belt. Everything inside is soldered in, so if I take it apart, she may not go back together!
Still not sure if this is going back in or not.
For the most part, I want more control over the speakers than this radio can give. Now with 6 speakers going in the car and 2 outs It's just not the real goal here.
Here are some pictures:

- so what's the plan now?
Well, I just put the stereo back in and did identify a problem that would have been an issue down the line and that was the center wire on the antenna cable was busted at the connector, so I re-soldered that
While the stereo was out I did a good deoxit on the controls and they are nice and clean. So a tleast I don't have a hole in the dash.
I have found a stereo I like, it's only $130, has a full color 5.3" LCD screen on it and it will work in my car. One of the issues I have is, the dash over hangs the stereo, so I can't put in a stereo with navigation because the screen typically has to come out and UP. The stereo I am looking at has an over hang that drops down, so I may go in that direction.
This way I have 4 RCA out puts to my amp, plus the stereo is powered, so I can really get some channel separation to dial each channel in.
With the speakers being right behind your head, I don't want them screaming all HIGHS in my ear. I want to be able to pull volume from the door speakers and dial in the mids and high separately.

OK, I just got the second speaker cabinet built, I now have to putty it and sand it down....
I'm still not sure if I am going to cover these in fabric or paint them.
