I have a 2002 Grand AM with a Monsoon Sound system, and I would like to know if I should wire my after market Rockford Fosgate AMP up through high level inputs before or after the factory amplifiyer.

Any suggestions????

I assume you are adding a sub? If you plan to keep the factory system, tap into the speaker level signal after the amp. You can grab the signal at the speakers if that's easier.

Thanks for the reply but here is the problem. My amp cuts out at high volumes and works fine at a low volume, and it is wired at the speakers. So that is my problem is there any reason for this?

Amplifier gain set too high can cause this. How did yu set it up?
