I agree with this ^^^ Visit Critchfield and get a vehicle specific adapter for your car/system. I have a pinout for the connector at the factory amp for a 99 Park Ave if that helps.

I think if you delay the amp's remote for a second that'd fix it. You want the DSP to be on and stable when the amp powers up.

Does it pop turning on or off or both?

If your Delta has power windows you'll have trouble fitting 6X9's in the doors. I could only squeeze 5.25's into mine.

Thinking about this... Yes there would be a direct connection to the battery. The question is, how is that feed supplied? For 50 amps you would need the equivalent of 8AWG wire. Auto makers often use multiple runs of smaller wire in parallel. For instance, 2 x 14 AWG would be the same. If the...

Yes.

Typically there is a fuse "box" under the hood where the battery voltage gets distributed through big fuses to the vehicle. You would use a 30 or 40 amp fuse holder that attaches to your 8 ga wire and gets bolted to the distribution block with a big ring terminal. You don't have to go directly...

Bad idea. 16AWG is a 10 amp wire. Do it right - tap into the main power feed under the hood near the battery. Yes, it's a lot of work.

You don't need an LOC. Just use Y adapters and plug the rear HU channels into the amp's sub inputs.

Those tiny plastic enclosures are not a good thing. I put some expensive speakers in mine and they sounded awful. Ended up removing the boxes and mounting the speakers to the outside of the doors.

Thanks for that. Look like some bad azz 5.25's.

It also depends on your car. I find that big cars tend to sound "hollow" without rear fill. I drive big 4-dr sedans and a pair of 6X9's in the rear deck running on HU power can add volume and midbass. I'll second not having tweeters though. Speakers in the rear doors do nothing for the driver...

No. I'm still shopping. Hope you get it settled.

My car's stock HU doesn't have USB but it does have an Aux port. I plug an MP3 player into it. Ripping... of course. Haven't done that in 15 years. Thanks guys. A quick check of an audio CD shows .cda files. I wonder if you can "rip" the other way and turn MP3's into something that plays on a...
