You CANNOT keep the Kicker factory 6-disk with an aftermarket headunit

In order to use a MP3 player with stock Headunit
- You must buy the auxiliary input adapter.

In order to use the stock headunit with an aftermarket amplifier
- You must buy a LOC (Line Out Converter) which takes the signal used for a speaker and transfers it to RCA's for the amplifier to use.
- You do not have to give up rear speakers to do this, you are just tying into their signal.

There is NO single best Subwoofer combination!
- All subwoofers fit different needs, whether it be SQ or SPL.
- Feel free to PM me with ideas for setups.






Antenna Options:
- Most shorty Antenna's do NOT provide as good as reception as stock, however some are better than others.
