if i were to change my factory radio out and put in an aftermarket one will the radio controlls on the steering wheel still work?????

 

Yeah that is a good question. I want to know the same thing.

 

No, I've never seen one, but some might work.

Try to email a maker.

 

There is a special harness or something like that that you would have to pick up to make them work. I think it is a $100-150 dollar setup. This is all from a couple friends of mine who were stereo installers.

 

Mean is correct, some aftermarket head units will work with the OEM audio controls on the steering wheel. Not all of aftermarkets will have remote capability. I would recommend going to Crutchfield.com. They will show you some aftermarket units that are compatible with the remote oem audio controls.

 

That's a kick butt site Kensai!

When I go to the site and input my Stock deck it pulls up speakers that have two little boxs with them. What are they?

Are those the amps for our systems like the OEM infinity's?

 

Component speakers maybe?

You really haven't ever heard of crutchfield before?

 

No!

But the thing here is the fact that the factory OEM speakers (Infinity) run on 2 ohms if I remeber right and the regular is 4? So basiclly if you install the regular 4 ohm speakers they are very low in volume?

 

Yes Hydra that is true. most of the speakers sold are 4ohm speakers. They would not pull out as much bass as an 2ohm speaker like needed for our Infinity setup. I for one would not recommend anyone buy 4ohm speakers. I lost bass when I changed to speakers because they are 4ohm.

 

But if you install a new deck that's 4 ohm, then you would need to install new 4 ohm speakers. Without you would turn it up and blow the deck!

So again are those small block box's changing the 2 ohm OEM system deck to 4 ohm to run the regular 4 ohm speakers with the OEM radio?

These are some I looked at but wouldn't buy. The box's look weird. Looks like just a crossover but what about a speaker that is a direct install replacement thats sound better to the infinity system ohm's.
