finkster Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 What you would have to do is splice into the stock wiring and run the aftermarket wiring in parallel and run it to the trunk.

flashlight_65 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 So you wanna use your girlfriends car for comps, nice. Maybe just use an iPod wired to the factory unit Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 we could have answered this in your other thread instead of making a new one... a HU is a HU. it needs power, ground, remote turn on, and a signal out. just hook it up the same as if you would on the dash. its the same shit.

Skittles is correct. Why I suggested running the wiring from up front to the back in parallel is so you can keep the stock speaker wiring. Unless you can find a way to run the new head unit as a an input to the stock one.

Unless you can find a way to run the new head unit as a an input to the stock one. he doesnt want the stock speakers playing, just the sub. the stock HU would be turned off when he competes and only the sub will play off of the new HU. no need to run anything from the stock HU. dont even need a remote turn on because you will want to just unplug the new HU when you are not using it so the remote gets connected to a constant.

Robert8252 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Is there a battery in the trunk? If so put the constant and remote together on the pos and the neg on the neg. Hook up your rcas. And you're done. Disconnect all when done Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
