2016 Chrysler 300 Build

[gd004800]

This form has given me a lot of answers over the past years, so I think I have learned enough to do my own build. I’m sure I know all the ends and outs of car audio now…I’m sure everything will go perfect.

Overall project 2016 Chrysler 300
-stinger heigh10 head unit
- new speakers + amp
- 10” kicker comp c + pioneer amp
- Vibration dampen doors trunk
- attempt to add mlv under carpet as these cars tend to have road noise

So I was joking above, I started this build last week and all my planning went to hell.
I installed the stinger Heigh10 head unit. Works great and I had purchased a kenwood xr600-6dsp a few years back for a previous 300 that was totaled. Yet no matter what I do I cannot get it to work since I removed the factory head unit.


The heigh10 has outputs for a front and rear zone. So I should be able to run that directly to an amp and be good to go. My debate here is there’s also an toslink output. Yet a lot of DSP don’t have a toslink port. What would your recommendation be, skip the DSP and go straight to an amp, rca to dsp, toslink to rca converter to DSP, or find a DSP with a Toslink?

Just use the RCA outputs. The audio output should be CD quality.

Huh? What is CD quality?
Lol I think this is the route I am going to take. It will at least allow me to get the subs put in and start working on building out the trunk space.

I believe you'll be happy with going straight to an amp. Either way, you can use the RCA's.

Usually one uses Toslink because it is optical for superior sound. RCA wiring offers at least CD quality signal transfer.
