karps Member 14 Member For: 14y 3m 18d Posted 06/10/10 10:23 PM Share Posted 06/10/10 10:23 PM Hey guys, I am new here, had a poke around the forums but I have not really found what I am looking for.I have an fg xr6, I want to keep the original headunit and plug an amp into it. Then power the speakers and sub off the amp.I dont want to install an aftermarket headunit. Has anyone done this or is there already a thread that I have missed that explains on how to do this? I understand that the outputs from the headunit might have to be converted?Could you please help me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amp (and I think majority of the newish amps have) had builtin converters therfore it was basically plug n play. It will make a difference to your stock hu, however I just installed a CDA 117 ....IMO if you have the cash source an aftermarket hu...but yeah most newsish amps will do the trick.

The stock FG one does everything I want it to do so I want to keep it that way. Has anyone else tried to run this setup in an FG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
