how to hook up Rca's with stock stereo
 

How would i hook up my rca cables while still having the stock stereo?

using a line level converter. i have a generic one im trying to get rid of id give to ya for 20 dollars shipped in the us

Pull the kick panels on bolth right and left sides of the car.
Cut the large bundles factory wiring harness with a blade.
Sift thru the cabling until you find:

Right/Passenger side: Light blue- dark blue + Rear speaker. Tap or splice into those.

Driverside kick: tap into yellow - and brown + pair for your hi level Right.

Run those 2 lines (and a ground) to a speaker level to line level converter.
Like what he's sellin above ^^^^^

That'l get you R&L analog audio to yer amp. Which im sure you know how to hook up.

Oh one more important thing. REMOTE TRIGGER 12V turn on for your AMP.

Pull the fuse box plastic kick cover on the left hand side of the passenger wheel well. Below the fuse box you will see and accessory harness and all the wiring running down thru the middle of the car.

Use/Splice into/or Jam into either one of the thick PINK wires. = 12v when ignition turns on.

:cool:

Thanks for the info RandomTask, I have been planning on putting my sub from my Vibe I traded in into the SS, and I have done the line level convertor before and even have it, just haven't gotten around to trying to figure out how to do it! Thanks a lot!

you can grab the wires behind the head unit also.

Yeah, but since I am putting the sub in the back it is a lot easier to do it all right there, power, ground, rca's, remote, everything.

im thinking about this too

You can use this:

PAC AOEM-GM1416A

For the remote wire, you might find it easier to buy an add-a-circuit. Looks like a fuse but has a wire coming off of it. Just crimp your remote wire into it and insert into spare fuse location 21.

i spliced into the pink wire. works just fine.
