Putting a cd player... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*DSC* · 11-13-2001, 09:23 AM

Well my options are: Buy a $40 thing to turn down the power comming from my cd player going to the factory amps so I can use my cd player with the factory amps. Or take the factory amps out and run new wires. What do you think I should do? Are the factory amps any good? Anybody ran new wires before, how much work would this be for the speakers in the door? Thanks in advance...

Edit: so everybody knows, i'm still doing performance mods first, I've had this cd player in my old car for about a year <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> just though i would let everybody know...

you dont have to run new wires, just car the harness off and crimp the right wires together, i can email you a guide telling which wires go to which since I did that myself.

I think I know which wires to use to hook it up, but I was told if I did, it would be amplifying something thats already being amplified and I would/could blow my factory amp.  But if there is a different way to wire it so this wouldn't happen then I would love an e-mail telling me how to do it.  Thanks grant...
