Installing aftermarket deck, how to bypass amp?
Installing aftermarket deck, how to bypass amp?
Hi all,
so my dad is in Bahrain right now on business working 12 hour days, 7days a week. So i thought i would do something nice and install a new alpine deck in his Toyota Camry while he is gone. its a 2000 or 2001, but its the jbl system, and from what i understand the factory deck has a factory amplifier going to the speakers. Car Toys told me it would cost 85 bucks to install a 120 dollar deck. Which i would never pay. Best Buy told me that if i can find the wiring harness that has the 4 rca preouts for the speaker wire, then they would install it for free. But i was told that with this kind of wiring harness, you blow into the factory amp and could fuck shit up. I installed a new deck into my 2000 tl with minimal problems, so i could install this deck myself, but im worried i dont know exactly how to bypass the factory amp. Could someone please explain to me if i should have best buy do it with the special harness, or if i could figure this out myself. Thanks ahead of time, and mods sorry this isnt about acura, i didnt know if off topic or audio would be better.
