Default Mygig RER to JL amps

I am trying to install two JL Audio amps, Kappa 6x9s, & a JL Stealth sub, but installer tells me RER will not connect to the high level amp inputs -- that I need to use an eq like the JL cleansweep. I am skeptical. Can the RER send high level output to the amps from the speaker outs? If so, which wires are the speaker outs (RF,LF,RR,LR + & -)??

Do you have the upgraded Alpine "Premium" sound?

Unless you're building a competition-minded audio system (and from the equipment you've listed, I'd guess it's just upgrading equipment for good sound), an eq is overkill and a complete waste of money. Use an Adjustable Line-Output Converter off the rear speaker leads, it uses the high-level audio signal, drops it down and converts to RCA signal wires, which will then plug directly into your amplifier.

Dittto, I need the speaker wiring for a 2009 Dodge Crew Cab but with the Mygig RER Nav system (not sure the head unit makes any difference in the speaker wiring). I have another question. I noticed that the factory base system has 6 speakers 2 rear door, 2 front door and 2 dash. My question is are both the front are rear door speaker outputs Full Range (no crossovers) I plan on unplugging the front dash speakers and i assume that they are crossed over to keep the lows from going to a 3.5" speaker.
If the front and rear door speaker leads are full range then i can wire them to a Line Output Converter and on to an amp. If however they are crossed over then i need to run the front dash speaker leads to a summing device to reaquire full range sound before i go to the line output converters.
I hope all this made sense.
Thanks for any help you can provide on the wiring.
Thanks
Lee
