need this to be answered quick as I'm going to be ordering my equipment some time tonight

my question is... do you really need an aftermarket deck for the subs and amp to work? i just have the stock one in it right now

 

you canoot run amps off factory systems am i correct? im not sure in new cars but in old cars i kno you cant....

 

is their rca wire hookups?? red and white?

 

i asked my friend who has one and he says yes you do so now my new question is... which one?

either sony or pioneer

 

i can ship u out a silver sony xplode for 45 bucks plus shipping

 

If you have the money look into something like clarion or eclipse

 

you can run a system off of a factory radio. you need a line output convertor. It converts speaker wires (just tap off speaker wires behind the radio and if converts to rca's. Just tap the yellow wire behind the radio for switched power (for the remote) You CAN do this an any car in the world, old or new, amplified or not (with very very few exceptions) some cars are just goofy.

Let me know if you need more help with this.

 

As hillbillyinohio said, you can add a line output converter to use an amplifier with a factory system in just about any car. Whether the amp is powering speakers or subs, doesn't really matter.

An aftermarket deck is usually the better way to go though.
Primary reason is it makes it easier to adjust your equipment (especially sub volume)versus most factory units (IMO anyway).

If you decide to keep the factory unit, remember you need a good line output converter to have the sound at its best.
