Ill make a post with some other questions you can pick and choose from. but i dont have much time at the moment.

Stereo doesnt work. found a thread with same problem. right side of trunk down by wheel well (where the amp is located) has a plugged drain. amp is shot. sounds like my problem. only thing is he spend like $125.00?!?!?

main question is will an aftermarker amp for a sub(or speakers) work or does it have to be specifically the amp made for this stereo? ive got a 500 watt alpine in my other car(in use but idgaf) will this work right? too big? too small? can i wire that straight in?

plus is the stereo with the sub and tweeters (if it has multiple stereo option) worth saving or sould i rewire it all? sound any good after 20 years?

Thanks

 

PM me. please.....

 

It can be done, but you'll obviously need to provide the proper wiring for power, ground, remote, etc. Just use the stock wiring for the factory speakers. My setup is wired this way, with a separate amp for the sub.

 

so a 500 watt amp can be wired straight in with every thing else the same?

 

^^^^^Yeah what he said??

 

You'll just use the speaker-lead wires. The factory wires are a small gauge, but they'll work if you don't feel like running new wires to each speaker. You might have to source a Factory Service Manual to figure out which color of wires feed each + and - of each speaker. Just don't use the factory leads for power and ground as they would be far undersized for an aftermarket amp, especially as much as 500W.

 

Your best bet is to just try and find a used OEM amp.
