Well i have a pretty mcuh brand new delta unit from the dealer - 3 months old.
Plus i like the way it looks.

Does that mean it is not possible to do without an aftermarket HU?


Thanks

You can deffinitely do this if you wanna (and I would), if you are attached to keeping that deck. It depends how good you are with wiring, but it's very doable. If there's any output run that to the amp, or if not, you can splice in stereo RCA's to the standard speaker outputs and run that to your Fosgate. Good luck,

Do you have the Bose?


If not then splice of one of the rear speakers to a converter ( takes speaker wire on one side and has a right & left female rca's on the other) from this unit you then go to your amp with the rca's. That will take care of the signal end then you need to run power ground and remote like any amp

Beer Mod is saying the same thing I did (maybe a lil' clearer). This is def. the best op. and what I would recommend for sure. Hit this forum back up if you need more advice.
