Featured Concord C2050 2-1 Channel Amp Info

I pulled the stock head unit and used a single din kit to put in an aftermarket. The kit was like $20

To get it out you have to pull that center piece out it's like 4 screws and a couple clips holding it in

Sweet thanks

It's also possible you could sell that 90's amp to a collector and buy a newer one that's better in every way with the money, one of the oldheads here would have to tell you about the value of it

Honestly I made an account in hopes of finding an old school amp forum on here. lol I looked through them and didn't notice one but I also have extreme hyperactivity and tend to miss sh** So does such a forum exist?

Np buddy. Honestly the biggest issue I had doing my saturn was the clearance in the doors in the factory speaker locations. Takes a low pro to wedge in there

I'm not even putting new speakers in. I'm just putting an amp in because my sub overpowers the speaker if I turn the base control down. And it's crazy because I feel like the sound system in the Saturn is better than the sound system I have in my 07 Lucerne, which has that Harmon Kardon system.

The stock speakers won't take power well

I tried running them on a small 4 channel since the didn't sound bad...a 50w per channel amp killed them

That's when I decided to run run 15's and redo it all

The amplifier is 2x50 watts at 4 ohms and 2x65 at 2 ohms. Any decent 16-148 gauge wire should be more than adequate, 16-14 for power if you can squeeze it in.

Something like these:

Amazon.com

Find the right one, get creative, and wire up some 12-gauge copper wire for the +/- and use 16-18 for the remote and speakers.

But how would I convert the connector that is already on the amp to take those pins?

Try searching for the male MC04M molex jrn003 4-pin (?), or the inserts that go into it, then solder or crimp to the pins, and insert them accordingly.

There is a connector already attached to the amp. There is a picture of it, it looks like a Molex connector. Is that not from the factory? If not, how would I go about taking it off to convert it to accept bigger gauge wire?

Not sure why you would want to do that. Any good quality 16-gauge wire should suffice (up to about 100').

Because I apparently, due to having too many children and a stressful *** job, had a brain fart and was thinking of the wire gauges in reverse.
