Adding Double Din GPS HU to an SSL car
Been doing my research and just want to confirm this is correct.
I want to add a Double Din GPS HU to my car with the stock infinity 310watt system and keep all my stock components (speakers, amp, sub). In order to do this I need a HU that will have 2 outputs (front and rear) and I need this piece to hook it to the stock amp.
Is this correct?
I'm looking at getting this HU btw.
Any feedback on sound quality is appreciated too.

Yes. There's an adapter to hook up to the factory amp. You'll also need the normal adapter for power & ignition. Hooking up a double din to ssl is no different than a normal headunit.
The part number or name for the adapter is somewhere in the audio info thread. Sorry I don't remember it off the top of my head.

Sorry for the partial thread hijack but I figured I'd ask here since the other thread I posted in doesn't seem to get a lot of views.
Is there a way to make it so the sub in the SSL package doesn't just act as a speaker with an aftermarket HU? I installed an Alpine CDA-9886 the other day and this is the only snag that I've run into so far. I used both the Metra and Mitah adapters and everything went into place with no issues (thanks to Crutchfield's very helpful installation guides) but I can't figure out why my sub isn't working right. It seems to behave like it's on the same channel as the rear speakers and adjusting the subwoofer level does nothing.
Everything else works perfectly. The main reason I got the Alpine was for the USB/iPod support which is nice but I'm almost tempted to put the stock HU back in so my music actually has some depth to it.
Sorry for the derail!
