Aftermarket Stereos

Is it true that you cant use the speaker wires on the stereo, if your using the rca jacks. this bahoe told me you couldnt do it but I think hes full of it. Any comments will be helpful.

i think buddy's been smokin sumthin...all my wires are hooked up and works fine :rolleyes:

yea the deck has a seperate amplifier, how many rca jacks do you have on the back of your deck........the only thing you hafta becareful about is the speakers coming off your added on amplifier are going to be able to play cleaner and louder while the ones running off your deck wont, so when the deck speakers hit their limit the others havent not......

Some Head Units will allow you to turn off the internal amplifier. In theory this will eliminate any noise from being introduced into the pre-outs. This is more a marketing issue than quality of sound. The specs rated for your THD, pre-out ohms, and signal to noise ratio are all with the amplifier in use with the line outs. Don't worry about using. The only issue you may have is added heat being made from the head unit. A tight fit on the radio and clustered wires can reduce the heat distribution and promote heat failure. Still, this is more a install issue than product.
