[QUOTE="huberoy123, post: 8880283, member: 658561"] When I initially got into the aftermarket stereo hobby, I purchased a PAC brand harness that plugged into my head unit and retained all of the factory wiring. The bonus was that it had wiring to add an aftermarket amplifier to the system. That was a sweet set-up. Maybe it would be a good idea to check with a local car audio shop to see if such a harness exists for your vehicle or stop pass a local Best Buy to inquire. Years later, I got the urged to try something new and I stripped all of the factory wiring and head unit. I purchased a head unit and several amplifiers. One to power my lower door speakers, one to power the upper door and rear deck speakers, and one to power 2 subwoofers. I ran RCA signal cables and turn-on wire from the head unit to one of the amplifiers and piggy-backed the other amplifiers. I ran speaker wires from the amps to the appropriate speakers. It was quite a job, but the results were worth it. Have you considered reducing the number of speakers?? [/QUOTE]
