i own a 2001 chevy impala with 6.75(6 3/4) in front and 6x9 in back with 4ohm impendence and currently running off
my factory amp which is currently fused on.

im looking for good speakers 2way comp or 3way in front and 3 way in back

and i will be needing a amp bypass harness or a suggestion for a 4 channel amp

im looking to spend upto $100 for the front and $100 for the rear and upto $150 for the amp+kit

also looking for a way to split off my power wire from my amp and split it for both amps

Get a Kenwood 8405 for the amp and Rockford Fosagte Power 2-ways for your mids.
Any 4-channel amp kit will work just fine.

Wtf does this mean? Do you have a sub amp or are you trying to get power off of your factory amp?
How this should be installed is by just mounting your NEW 4-channel close to where your factory amp is and running the speaker wire outputs from the new amp to the speaker wires coming out of your factory amp.

blue/light blue
green/dark green
tan/grey
brown/white

I think so anyway...

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_30819_Rockford_Fosgate_T1675.aspx x2. on these i'm pretty sure they come with the 6x9 adapter plates but if you want to be sure you can order off amazon and they show for certain they come with them.

you'll also wanna grab another set of eKo series RCA wires and probably one of those $30 100ft TCA series 12 gauge speaker wire. i'd link all of this but from what i remember the links break for some reason lol.

as for the split...its called a distribution block. however this is only helpful if you aren't purchasing complete wiring kits and you have a large wire you want to split into multiple smaller wires. for example if you're main wire is 4 gauge then running 2 4 gauge wires off of it isn't suggested. however if you have 0 gauge main wiring and you want to split it into 2 4 gauge wires that would be fine.

Lol!

I also have a 2001 Chevy Impala with the built in amp...

Is something wrong with the amp?
I bought those same speakers subwoofer recommended, but the earlier model. They are absolutely great for the price.

This is what I got.
I just unhooked the old ones, cut off the old speaker adapter and plugged the new ones in.

the amp is fused to be on all the time, it was the cause of my parasidic power drain took me 2 months to figure it out and a dead battery.

im eaither installing a new aftermarket amp or bypassing the amp with this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12613_Metra-70-2021.html
