smp_52 · 10-02-2006, 09:24 PM

Okay so im getting speakers for sure . Im kinda new to audio stuff so i need some help. I want to hook up a sub and amp . The only problem is i dont want to change the head unit . Can i just hook them up to the auxiliary jack or is there something else i can use?

If the head unit has pre-amp outputs then all you have to do is run RCA cables (the ones with the white and red connectors) from the head unit to the amp. You will also have to run power and remote wires. I can't remember if the remote wire will be on the wiring harness or not, it has been a long time since I installed a system.
