You can retain this, but you give up half the power of the head unit. Don't forget to run the turn on signal to the amp.

Interesting.
In my 420SEL I was able to access all 4 speakers from the amps mounted behind the top of the back seat. Is there a similar location for the 124s?
I could buy a decent 4 channel amp and install it in the trunk, wire up the speakers and parallel off into the active bass unit.
Or I could run 4 sets of wires to where-ever and tie into the active bass unit.
