TJ_Jeep Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Well my cousin has got a 2001 ford explore and he wants me to install his system in there but he wants to keep the factory radio because its the 6 cd changer in dash i wouldnt blame him, the only way i used to hook amps up to a factory radio is run wires from the back deck speakers and hook them to the high input but in this car would be kinda hard to hook the the back speakers(which are in the door) without the wires being noticed. What is the best way to hook an amp up like this any help is appreciated Vehicle:1998 Jeep Wrangler 4.0 I6 with Cherry Bomb and Cold Air Intake, Speakers:5 1/4 Pioneers in front and back Deck: Jensen DVD In-Dash Amp: Lanzar Opti-Drive 2000w Subs: 2 Boss Chaos Edtion 1000w max (500wrms) Rubber: Nitto Grappler 35 x 12.50 Fun Things: Cobra CB with PA speaker to piss people off =] If the listening level is too loud, then your not deaf enough =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris from Mi Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 just get a high to low level converter, pop out the radio using the u-shaped radio removal keys (or a metal coat hanger) then just wire up the converter behind the dash, then run a remote wire to the fuse box, and find a fuse that says radio, antenna, or possibly acc, one should turn on when you turn on the ignition. I usually solder the wire to one blade of the fuse, put it back in, and your good to go with rca's and remote turn on Orion 2500D, Jbl Gto 75.4 Team Wolfpack Audio FSQ 15" d2, mb quart xover, tweets peerless 6.5 mids Alpine cda-105 optima up front Knu klm 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris from Mi Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 its understandable, i've put an amp in a 04 escape, and the factory deck isnt too bad especially with the 6 disk changer, but i'll take an aftermarket that can play an mp3 cd over a changer any day.
