I had called Crutchfield, and they were able to tell me that
the system had an external amp, but had no idea where it is.
I found info on the CQ in the archives, but was unsure if
the setup was the same...was curious how those like Paul
Royal bypassed the amps on the rear speakers, but were still
able to use the crossovers.  According to Crutchfield, the
rear speaker amps can only take four watts each.  The Wiesbaden
head unit puts out 16x2max according to the manual, so Crutchfield
sells you an adapter that lowers the wattage of the aftermarket
head unit to 4watts.  Sounds like the ideal solution is bypassing
the rear amps.
