2012 Sony Amp Confusion
Hi Gang,
I am hoping that somebody here can help me out. I have been researching for weeks and am seriously confused.
I have a 2012 Lariat SCrew w/Sony and No Nav. I want to keep the stock head unit, upgrade door speakers and add an amp & sub.
My problem is that the factory HU (via the OEM Sony amp) rolls off at higher volumes to "protect" the *****ty speakers. I want a system that achieves balance at any volume (and doesn't cost a fortune).
I cannot figure out how to work around the OEM amp (without hacking, slashing and splicing) and, for simplicity, retain factory speaker wires. To make matters worse, I have stinking molex connections.
Can anyone tell me what the connections on the OEM amp (pictured) are?
Asking installers in my area has lead nowhere. They are willing to "do" it for me but refuse to give "free" advice.
HELP?
