[QUOTE="jbueno, post: 2678871, member: 574213"] A few months ago i bought a 2001 Galant from a dealer, and it seems like the previous owner had a system installed, maybe just a head unit and sub and amp. There are speaker wires and such coming out into the trunk, i had to remove the fuse from the battery because the wires were still hot. My mother bought a car many years ago which came hooked up with a system. Recently the car broke down for good, so i went ahead and removed the system. Here's what i extracted from my mothers car: - SAS-Bazooka Bass Tubes - Pyramid Pro Plus 200W (PB-210PX) Amplifier - QLS 680W High Performance Amplifier (QL-6804) So what i want to do is try and see if i can get this equipment to work with the wiring in my car, and im not sure how to go about this. So before i go and screw something up, i figured i'd ask and see what you guys have to say. In the trunk of my car i see 4 wires, a thick red wire, a black wire which looks about identical to the red one. A thin purple wire (probably serves as the ground), and an rca cable. I looked around the car to see where these wires are coming from. I checked under the hood and i saw the same red wire linked to a black wire which goes to a fuse socket and then to the battery. I saw another black wire connected somewhere there with the fuse or battery but it wasnt the same wire sittin in the trunk. I also pulled the cover off the head unit and saw the rca cable in the back, i didnt have a chance to make sure that its connected to the head unit, but i can verify that later. I have a stock head unit. As you can probably tell, im really new to car stereos. I hope this all makes sense. I appreciate any help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
