I want to put some aftermarket subs in my truck. What do I need to hook the amp to the stock head unit?

dont know for sure if you can, but if you can it should just be remote wire and output cables

 

[BDekle]

I know you can. theres an adapter. one of my friends has it.

they sell it at best buy just looked at it sunday last week... imo your best bet would go there and talk to one of their super geeks about it...

 

[BDekle]

Yea. Well, theres not a bestbuy within 80 miles of here.. So I came to yall

 

[94_cummins_51489]

Sorry, didn't know you needed adapters and stuff, I've only installed in aftermarket head units

This is so confusing. Im not looking to blow the doors off just suplement the stock system. Can someone make me a list of what they would buy for under $300

I just purchased some subs, a box, wires, and an amp. What do I need to hook the head unit to the amp. I cant find the part.

If your willing to spend 300. on parts to make your stock pos work, why not buy a new cheaper model Pioneer? You will not get near the sound out of the stock as you will the new headunit. I weighed the options of losing my 6 disc for a new Pioneer, and it was well worth it. Next is the stock speakers.

I yanked out the 6 disc in dash changer too, and bought a head unit with Ipod hookup. No need for discs anymore.:thumbsup

As for the OP question, you can either get a new head unit or get a sound processor. Check out www.cruthfield.com they have the sound processors and lots of great technical help to get you what you need.

Ok, I think I've found another, less expensive option in another thread. Try a four-channel line output converter here

I also have one more question. I need a wiring kit for two subs that need about 300 rms watts.

The line level adapter will work fine. They can be picked up at walmart for about 30 bucks. You tap into the rear speaker wires and it converts the signal to run through rca cables. The remote turn on will also tap into the rear speaker wires and as soon as the rear speakers receive a signal from the head unit the amp will turn on. Hope this helps.
