Currently have a 97 2nd Gen with the middle factory CD. Looking to replace the head unit with a double DIN unit but still use the factory amp. I found the wiring diagrams and references to connect the receiver "audio on" to the factory blue wire that controls the rear amp.
My question is regarding which head unit sources to use. I would think using the standard receiver speaker output would overdrive the factory amp. The receiver I am considering has std pre-amp RCA outputs. Should I use the receiver pre-amp sources or the receiver amp sources?
Feedback and Suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks
