No, not every a/b can run like that. You will need something like the old orion that glasswolf is running. Why not run a seprate amp, with a relay to turn it on and off. That way its off for normal driving and on when you need it. That way your not set to 1000 watts rms to run your subs, and then needing it to run full range the other half of the time.

why not put together a decent system in your car so you don't have to rewir ea bunch of crap when you want to party at a camp ground? just turn the car up.

Why not just open the doors of the vehicle and use the speakers inside? Or, connect the house speakers to the head unit? If you're playing the house speakers at low volume anyway, the 8 watts or so they'll get from the head unit should be plenty. I don't see any advantage/reason/need/want/etc. to connect a couple house speakers intended for low level listening to a sub amp intended to push 1k watts to subs. Hell, buy a boombox and some D cell batteries. There are tons of options that make more sense than what you're explaining.

i agree... he's looking at all sorts of expensive amps when really the answer is about $150 at bestbuy, in the electronics center.

Hahahaha,

It just WORKS for what im trying to do guys, I just did not want to have to explain it for a hour.
Space is a huge issue, another amp is something I do not have room for. Hooking the speakers up to the deck is not as powerfull as running them through an amp. The vehicle needs to be in a certain position in order for the door speakers to be facing, also we run the wire into the tents and freestyle... there are many many reasons but trust me it just works for what im trying to do, thanks for the suggestions though (those without the sarcasm)

I was just curious what amp I should look for, not "how do you like my idea, feel free to crap on it and suggest getting a boom box etc." lol.
Ok, now I know to look for an A/B amplifier yay~!

Here is my crappy system, I guess some of you are right I should just scrap my Focal's and get some "decent speakers" and turn it up should solve my problem.

How do those LVS sound?

well I guess that would be a start...

but you never mentioned focal not once. Seriously though, your best bet, since you are sponsored by US amps, is go ahead and have a "party amp" hooked up to a quick connect terminal in the rear of your vehicle. That way, when camping, you can connect your homespeakers, and blast away those "cheeseburgers in paradise" to your hearts content. Good luck with it anyway.
