SOURCE: Installing self amplified sub to factory stereo

Hello Jax GS300,

Yes, you can use RCA cables. Just wire in a "low-level" converter.

Using RCA's is really the best way, allowing you to run shielded wiring to the sub, making it less likely that the wiring will pick up electrical interference. I'd install the converter on the rear speaker wires behind the dash.

If you do not want to convert the speaker output, you can drive the Kenwood directly from the speaker wires. The diagram in the install manual shows the connections coming off the rear speakers.

Here's a link to one output converter. This one will convert all 4 speakers.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Music is coming through my sub as well as bass

your amp might have a low pass filter and a high pass filter make sure it is switched to low pass and that should prevent music from coming out of the subs and just alow the bass too

You can go to Walmart and in the stereo/speaker department they have dash kits for different vehicles.Just read the box to determine your vehicle. Also, they have amp kits for different wattage amps, but if you had rather buy each item you will need, a Power Wire (to the battery 4g or 8g), a ground wire (to the chassey), a remote wire that should run to a wire from your cd player saying remote (any size is fine), speaker wire (14g or 16g is fine) a set of RCA cables, and if your cd player dosnt have RCA jacks you will have to have a converter.

Silverado radio wiring

Some trucks and gm cars have two kinds of systems one without a amp,and one without so judging by what you're saying you probably have one with a amp so yes you can but it is complicated and you would need to bypass amp so just get the kit that's required for your vehicle.

Changed Radio and now car won't start

What stereo did you use as a replacement? If you used a aftermarket (kenwood, sony, etc) cd player, you need to use the proper adapter harness. These cars have a build in theft deterrent system that involves the stereo. So, when you replace the stereo, a component of your anti theft system is missing. The use of the harness gets around this feature somehow, and allows you to use aftermarket CD players. Also, ensure that no wires are getting pinched behind the stereo, and that all your connections are soldered and shrink wrapped to avoid any future problems. I have provided a link for the correct adapter harness to your vehicle.

Im trying to install a new radio into 1997 Ford Expedition w/premium sound. However I cannot get any sound. I have the wriring harness.

Hello... I am sorry to hear you are having a problem I am assuming that you are using a wire harness adapter to interface between your factory harness and the aftermarket radios harness. If the aftermarket stereo has a blue/white wire, you need to connect it to the blue and the blue/white wires in the adapter harness. This will turn on the amplifiers. If your aftermarket stereo only has a blue wire, then use it as the connection with the blue and blue/white on your aftermarket harness adapter. Hope this helps. If you need any further assistance, let me know!

I installed an aftermarket stereo in my 2000 suburban and none of my speakers work only my subwoofers play

Your suburban might have a vose system and you can't hook up aftermarket speakers on it,the only way is up dating the amp.

I bought the car without a radio. i am putting a aftermarket stereo in its place. I need to know what my factory wires are.

your best bet is to buy a adapter harness (not expense) it plugs right into factory radio plug and then to aftermarket radio,all you need is the make and model of radio going in and year make and model of car and go to a car radio store.ALOT EASY THIS WAY, ALSO THE PLUG COMES W/DIAGRAM &LABELED WIRES.good luck hope this helps.

What is a anti theft device? what is passlock?

well most newer cars have the anti-theft,vss,or other BS, wired thorough the radio harness for whatever reason they felt. however they now have by-pass modules for most aplications.

check this out. If you take the factory radio face (rack of buttons) in a 01 ford focus the car will not start, or if you turn the car off, and push the volum knob to turn the radio on for one hour then lock the doors from the remote, the remote will no longer unlock them without being re programed(after you break-in to pop the hood and cut power and then re-program)....fewww!!
