if you add an aftermarket deck, you need to bypass the stock amps. easiest way is to just run new wires from the deck to the speakers.

The door speaker is the speaker in the door. I beleive that the s4's didnt come with door speakers, so I do not know if it has the amp.

Man, three people answered and you smacked them all. Granted half the replies were wrong, but geeez. Great way to get further help.

Anyway, the GXL has Amps for every speaker. They are at the speaker or in the dash (depending on the speaker).

As mentioned by scott (and it looks like you ignored his reply) you will need to wire past the amps if adding any aftermarket stereo with the exception of the biggest pieces of crap aftermarket stereos.

The stock amps either take low level (din cables) or less than 15 watts high level input.

Woofer amps drive the door speakers.

the dash speakers are seperate from the door speakers, hence the different names.

You may wish to seach next time as this subject has been covered

actually, S4 doesnt have door speakers, but you can get S5 door panels and insert them in. That's what I did.
