1st New car! Just need some clarifications when swaping my system please!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, need a tad bit of adivse once again if you would be so kind....

Bought my 1st new car, a 2013 Optima Ex w/ the basic features (Touch screen HU, BUcam etc..,), needed something kind on gas which my V8 Jeep just .... wasnt lol... Anyhow, I have never owned a "new" car so Im kind of confused on how to proceed with swaping in my jeeps system..

Going to try and cram my d6500 from my jeep under the new hood, get mechman goodness out and find her a new home in my dads Jeep lol, and removing everything else, which isnt much... my 2x SA12's, SAE 1200D, Big 3 etc..,

Anyhow, being that its a new car, I really do not want to replace the HU at this time, and Im pretty sure factory will not have pre-amps.....

Whats my best route to get a signal for my RCAs that will give good results and not just "meh, it works" ? Maybe recommened a product via PM if needed, would be mucho help.

Like I said, never owned anything even remotely new, and Im just used to ripping out old HU's, wiring those bad boys up and yea.... you know the drill... I would like to keep this is about as stock as I can for the time being....

Thanks as always guys!

I have a 2012 sonic I put a system in. I uses low level converters from my rear door speakers. But if you have a upgraded system in you car from the factory you can't use that. You need to use something different I can't remember what it is which is pissing me off lol. I would say go look at Steve's Lexus build he is running off the stock h/u on that
