Okay guys, i'm tired and cranky. I work WAAAY too many hours.
I'm not throwing a pity party for myself but this is driving me nuts. I have a '98 Eddie X and have the Mach system. Coincidently enough, I blew the good ol' 8" sub tonight (within 4 hours of actually OWNING the car.)
Luckily, I had purchased a Sony Explod 444w amp and 2 300w Audiobahn 10" subs with a ported box from my cousin yesterday at a fair price with the intent of putting it in my Explorer at some point. He threw in the wire too. Well, now that the ol' 8" is blown I guess Fate decided that the 10's need to go in ASAP so I don't lose my mind on my 30 minute drive to work.
That being said, i've been searching the Audio forum for the last hour just looking for a simple way to hook up my subs and amp. There's a lot of helpful info piece by piece, granted, but its not clicking for some reason. I'm using the stock head unit. I'm wondering; can I just splice onto the +/- wires going to the Mach sub and run them to my amp? Can I bypass the subs dedicated amp? Can someone give me a simple solution or at least some helpful advice? I know this isn't what you'd call "urgent" but its frustrating not having time for this crap. Someone... help... please?
Thanks a TON in advance!
