New member Username: DbbtTacoma, Wa Usa Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-06 | I have a '99 Cadillac Seville and have a couple questions really about installing an MTX amp and keeping the stock deck. First, I'm going to install an amp for my 2 subs using an inline RCA out from the stock stereo, using the rear stock speakers to splice into to connect the inline RCA. OK, so i have connected my battery wire (constant 12 volt) power source and have a ground wire installed. Now I need a remote power source that turns off with the car! This is my problem, I have tried 3 different power sources and they all were constant 12 volt-no good. The rear seat has been removed, that's where the battery in this car is, so that's where I am working...do i have to rip out the dash to find a remote source or does anyone know of another way...please advise any diagrams and/or any help on this as I have spent all weekend trying to do it alone...thanks guys for any help! Also, if I am going to splice into the rear dash speakers for my RCA connector, are there amps on those speakers already that i need to disconnect for my system to work? I haven't torn out the trunk yet to see if it has amps on the stock speakers but i think i've read they do |
