Anyone have wiring diagram for stock amp? Trying to replace the stock amp with after market using stock speaker wiring from the amp harness. Thx

 

bump cuz i need this too

 

Theres a harness you can get at best buy to do this FYI and its plug and play with the factory amp.

 

Your not following.

We have no intentions of using that pathetic excuse for an amp. We have aftermarket amps that are installed - and require the color combinations that go to each speaker set to wire in to a new amp.

There is no plug and play unit for a custom install.

Your thinking of the install kit for the back of the factory radio to make an aftermarket head unit plug and play.

 

I want to know also.

 

Someone come through for us, as I need this also!

 

An easy way to figure this out is a "battery popper" basically its a wire with a battery attached, and you just poke a wire (most wires that go to the same speaker are twisted together), and it makes hat speaker buzz and pop a little. Thats the best way. I've looked all around and I cant find it at least.

 

Im having my tech write it down when he does it for me. Ill know this weekend.

 

Has anyone tried using a multimeter to test for continuity?

I actually had to look up "smfh." That being said, what brings you to such apparent intellectual dismay? I'm genuinely confused. You want to know which wires are which, right? That's where a continuity test comes in. One terminal goes on the wire by, say, the speaker and the other on the wire at the amp. If there's continuity, you have the right wire. If there isn't, you move on to the next wire until you get the right one. What am I missing?

 

Then you have to pull apart your doors?


9 volt battery and touch the wires...

Only thing continuity is going to tell you is which pairs go together.

 

Yes, you'd have to remove the doorcard. It's a very complicated procedure that requires the removal of a couple of screws. As you're going to the trouble of installing an amplifier, why wouldn't you seal and deaden the doors to begin with?

How do you determine phase, for sure I mean? As a point of interest, ironically, a 9V battery is often used to confirm phase, but that's done by watching the excursion of the driver.

Not pairs, individual wires. Do what you want for all I care. Obviously you know better.

 

If you're using an aftermarket amp, just run your own wire. Wiring through the door connectors is pretty easy and you're going to get the best sound quality possible (assuming you use quality wire and proper connections). I've never used OEM wiring with an aftermarket amp.

If you really want to use the OEM wiring, then use a mutlimeter to see which wires are speaker wires. Then you can use a 9v battery to pop each speaker and see what combos of wires give you a pop at each speaker.

 

Thats the plan - when ever I get around to it. Its just pulled apart in the garage.
