a coworker was selling his car so instead of selling his box with it he sold it to me for $140. two JL 12's in wedge box and a 400 watt eclipse amp. underpowered if you ask me but a good deal and i'm not going crazy. this is the problem. I can run the power line, remote line, etc. I just cant get the signal from the head unit. trust me I have searched. do I splice the rear deck speaker before/after amp? use LOC? or high to low converter? or just get it done professionally? If so how much should I expect to pay if I run everything but my signal? i really dont trust myself soldering and stuff but if someone has step-by-step instructions I may try it. circuit city wants to put in a LOC. should i go to a private audio shop and have them do the custom job or what? any advice is much appreciated and I thank any of you who can lead me in the right direction.

 

Stock deck i take it???? if so goto local shop or store and get a line output inverter. Shgould be like $20 that will give the radio a spot to plug in your RCA cords and run them back to your amplifier.

 

anyone know how to remove symphony head unit?

 

ok so got the headunit out. now my problem is that the amp wont power on. I have the remote wire to the 75x under the kick panel and the amp powers on for 3-5 seconds then the little light just goes out.

I have done this with signal connected and without. is the amp bad or do I just need to find a new ground or what? i have it grounded to one of the metal clips on the floor of the trunk. under the carpet i have the ground screwed in between the metal clip and the trunk floor.

I have power because if I wiggle the ground it kind of sparks a little. please help! I'm about to just bring it somewhere and have them do it but I would feel a lot better if I could accomplish this. thanks.
