Few Questions

gilbert383 · 11-21-2006, 08:32 PM

I just got a 98' Explorer 4x4 XLT after selling my Monte Carlo which i had a system in. I'm wondering if there is a way to wire the amp and use the stock stereo because truthfully i don't hate it that much. Also what kind of door speakers do these require? Thank You...FIRST POST

welcome. to keep the factory deck and add an amp, ju st buy a line out converter (converts speaker level to RCA level) or use the high level input on the amp if equipped. the speakers are 6x8

where can i get the line output converter....and is it hard to do it that way?

Circuit city, Wal-mart, best-buy.. all should have line output converters. It's not hard at all, essentially taking your speaker wires, plugging them into a box, and running the rca's to your amp.

You wont need to do this if your amp has high level inputs though as was said.

may be a dumb question but are they 6x8's in all for doors on a 95 X and what is the power from the stock speakers(watts and all that) because to be honest im impressed with my 11yr old stock speakers but just lookin to go that extra mile with the sounds system (nothin crazy just a little more loudness)

6x8's in all four doors yes. as for the stock system in your x, not exactly sure. it has a factory amp so it puts out a bit cleaner power than a normal head unit.
