I have the infinity 7 speaker system in my 2003 regular cab ram, id like to install an aftermarket head unit. im wondering will this work with the infinity amp or do i have to relay orbypass sompthing.id like to keep the amp workingrather thanbypass around the amp any one do this yet???

 

if i'm not mistaken the amp is on/in the speakers. Our 2000 Dakota quad 4x4 had that system and I was told I would have to replace everything. Hopefully for you they changed this setup.

 

u should not have to change anything all u have to do is take the stock deck out clip the wires and buy a harness for the new deck and then clip some wires re attach some wires and u should be alright if u know how to do the wires part

 

^^^ no.

you can keep the infinity system. all you gotta do is go to an audio dealer and have them order a factory amplifier integration harness for the truck. if you cut the wires and splice like normal you are gonna cook that infinity amp

from metra the bypass harness is 706512 but they should make an integrate harness as well.

 

I did exactly what Hemikidd was saying to do I havent cooked my Amp just dont for get to hook up the blue amp power wire otherwise you will not hear anything. I have had my set up for about 6 months now. I just cut wires and put a harness in and put the deck in really easy but do not forget that blue wire cause my truck has the infinity sound system and I forgot the wire and thought my deck was messed up.

 

hahah ignorance is bliss in the audio world

 

should have looked this up before I made the trip to BB. thought something was wrong, they said to hook that wire up, worked like a charm.

Don't need a special harness or anything. 2 different BBs now have told me that the factory amp takes high level inputs, meaning you don't need to use the RCA outputs from the head unit. Just wire it up like you would on any other system + the blue wire, and you're good to go. Don't even need to connect it to the battery, acc power, or ground to anything other than the harness.

 

what exactly is the difference between the stock infinity system and just the regular stock one.

 

+3 speakers on the dash, and a 240 watt amp.

 

how can i tell if that 240watt amp is actually working?
