Adding Amp + Subs To Stock Headunit

[Scorch]

As per the title, does anyone know if the 09 deck will work with this style connector?

I’d prefer to do something like this and keep it clean, rather than splice the back wires to the 6x9’s with a low-pass.

Bumpity bump bump.

I tried phoning PAC's hotline to see if they had tested it on the newer ones, but so far no response from them.

I'm assuming you don't have bose, is that correct?

The cheapest, surest, way to go would be get the male and female harnesses, solder them together except for the speaker wires, then use those at the high-level inputs of the amp (most amps support this).

If you're going less than 50watts RMS, they say it's OK to use stock wiring . . .

Now, if you have bose, you'll have to splice those 4-pin connectors . . . and then down where the factory amp is - PITA. There are standard speaker whips for the non-bose stereo so you can clip in.

I'm guessing you want the "stock look" of the OEM stereo, otherwise I'd give you the old answer "the cheapest, 3-year-old, USED Alpine you can lay your hands on will be more functional and sound better than the stock stereo" . . . but that wasn't your question

Hope that helped -- if you have other/more questions I can try to answer.
