Good Evening all .. Sorry I'm really new to any sort of forum but I have a problem and this is the only way I can think of maybe fixing it without pulling my dash apart.
I have a 2004 Azura and I want to put in new speakers/sub and amp but I want to keep the original head unit that the car came with ..

Can anybody please tell how many outputs there might be on the back of the head unit ???
Does it have high power or low power outputs for the speakers ??
Or has anybody else done this ???

Thank you very much

There are different grades of stereo in cars, for example: base, premium sound, etc. Different head units have different wattage output. Keeping the stock unit might require a lot of splicing into the factory harness to add an amp and sub. The least invasive method might be splicing amp into rear speaker wires (high power) and run the power cable through the length of the car to the battery. You will also have to wire the remote power switch for the amp. Someone else on here might be more of a stereo expert than me though. I haven't wired a stereo with subs and amp in about a decade, so maybe technology has changed and there is an easier way.

 

Thank you very much Mr Patonium .. But I actually think I may have fixed the problem with this amazing little gadget I found .. If I'm reading the write up right, this little box has got rid of the need to splice wires ever again
