Wireing a new amp up to a factory head unit

[frickea86]

I'm thinking of wireing up a new alpine amp to the stock head unit in my x. Since its preamp the whole way back to the amp it should work, right? I don't see any problems with doing it that way, if ya do let me know, thanks

I did the same thing with my amp. I simply tapped off of the pre-amp inputs from my stock amp and it sounds great!

He prolly won't respond to this. He's away for 2 weeks. I'm not sure what he's going to do.
