factory amp

[crazyxbowler 10+ year member]

Right now i have a factory cd player in the car and a factory amp, it all sounds pretty much as good as my other cars system did with an amp and aftermarket speakers. I have a pair of kicker ks13 tweeters in the dash, 6x9s in the front door and 6.5s in the back door. Powering all these are a 180 watt infinity 6 channel amp. I am wanting to put in my Alpine hu from my old car but turn off its amp and use the factory amp till i get the money to buy a new one. Is it possible to put in an after market hu and still use that amp? and also do they sell hu's that display the information about the song accross the screen when you listen to the radio, my factory one does and i enjoy that feature.

Thanks

We need to know what kind of car it is to tell you whether the factory amp can be integrated.

The head unit feature you're looking for is called RDS.

Yes, you can easily keep the factory amp just by making sure the remote turn-on wire from your head unit is connected to the factory amp turn-on wire in the Jeep harness. No special adapter is required.
