Has anyone ever installed an amp and wire it to the stock speakers? Or any other speakers? Just looking for some tips. Pics?

 

youll have to run speaker wire to,
A: the back of the radio deck and splice it to the wires running to the speakers, which will most likely be green,purple,grey,white wires.. OR you can run the speaker wire through the weather seal in the door directly to the speakers themselves. ive done it both ways. i prefer through the doors because of the better connection and not having to take the besel apart and pulling the radio. task should take less than 30 min if you know somewhat what your doing. private message me if you need further help

 

30 minutes to rewire a complete system? You must be ninja fast lol.

 

In my truck about 30-45 because Ive taken every piece off. But I wire systems for a hobby around here

 

Step 1 - Find a suitable place to mount your amp .
Step 2 - Run your power and ground wires to the amp . Don't Forget a breaker or fuse on your power . Be sure to use a power cable that is large enough to supply the amp to it's full potential .
Step 3 - Pull deck and run your RCA cables from the deck to the amp .
Step 4 - Run a good quality speaker wire from the amp to the speaker locations with no splices
Step 5 - Turn down all settings on your amp before powering and adjust with music playing so that you don't wreck them .

Hope this helps

 

find out if you have the infinity system, because it has amps already built into each of the front door speakers, and take it from someone who's tried it, IT'S A NIGHTMARE to try to figure out which wire goes where.

 

Yeah , the first thing I did with those speakers is tossed them in the garbage and installed some sony xplode speakers all around . Great sound for a great price. Defiantly not top of the line , but to me they sound great . $100 a pair 4 years ago and they are still going strong .

 

Yeah, I replaced all of mine with Pioneers, and the head unit with a Kenwood Excelon, but I didn't run an amp for the speakers, so I had to figure out which wires were coming from the head unit because they change colors at some point and don't match the wires coming out of the dash.
