Did a search, couldn't really find what I'm looking for.

I'm currently using the rear channels of my Factory Amplifier and using it as a line-level input for a mono-block amp. The factory rear speakers are currently disconnected due to the above.

I want to use that same rear factory channel to either re-wire-up the rear speakers or as a second line-level input to another amp. So, here are the ideas I came up with...

Senario 1. Wire the speakers back into the rear channel and use the factory amp. The concern I have with this is that it will make a 2 ohm load and the factory amp might shutdown, pop a fuse, or worse.

Senario 2. Basically the same as number 1 but splice into the rear channels to make a second line-level input to a second amp. The same concern with #1 applies here as well.

The alternative I was thinking was, run the rear channels into a line-out converter and put y-cables on the RCA outputs. Would this get around making a ohm load?

Which would be the better/safer way to go? The main goal is to keep my factory amplifier from having issues. So, any other suggestions (besides replacing head unit) are more than welcome.

you don't need to disconnect any speakers if you're adding in a line out convertor.

reconnect your rears and you're good to go.
