if you plan on bypassing the factory amp i take it your gonna be wiring the speakers to the head or a diff amp? if the head no that won't work if a diff amp ya that will just don't use the rca's part of it

if that's the case i'd get a roll of 14 guage wire and run those for your interior speakers then all you reall need from the factory is the ign, memory and ground wire for the deck.

i got 12 gauge to run my speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif so your saying some of the wires i wont even have to hook up? i just need ign, memory, and ground?

just about any system i've done that consists of not using the deck's power all i've connected to the deck was the ign, mem and ground and power ant if u have then of coruse the remote but i've never really used the illum or other wires your deck may be diffenet.

Why take the mach system out, Just bypass it. that way you dont have to run all new speaker wires.

the speaker wire is probably like 16 gauge. im going to be sending my component speakers almost 200 watts each so im upgrading to 12 gauge wire.

12 is a bit much 14 is plenty but run it if u got it already

12 is perfect, thanks for the help
