you dont have to rerun speaker wire, but if the wires are going out as you say, it wouldnt hurt to help in the future

it should be labled for you..
if your hell bent on running new speaker wire, all you gotta do is just hook pos to pos neg to neg on for the speakrs. it should all be color coded and crap on the wiring harness ont he cdplayer. i think the colors are green, grey, purple and white?? for the speakers, it should all be labled for you in the paper work with the cd player.

no, do not combine the front and the back. You loose fading. It al so may affect the internal amp. Any good head unit will only really put out about 17 to 21 watts per rms.

yea deff dont do that it wont work you would ruin the internal amp if its a new cd player if its really really old like one of the first ones to come out you maybe able to do it but it actually sends the freq. at different volumes if its a decent head unit. you may want to connect the wires for the front back there and cut the others off. and you wont have any problems running new wires as long as you do it right.
