[QUOTE="mico888, post: 8882856, member: 692415"] Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice. I just picked up a '99 Jeep TJ that came with an old Dual single-DIN CD/AM/FM stereo and an amp with two subs in the back. The Dual stereo only works occasionally, and when it does, the volume either jumps all the way up or drops all the way down for no reason. Since it’s a Jeep, I want a system that won’t attract too much attention or be at high risk for theft. I had an idea, and I’m wondering if it’s a bit crazy.
