    Hook this up to a harness for your car then plug and play.

    i can't the guy before me had an amp hooked up to the stock stuff with aftermarket 6x9s. Ive had the car for a few months and just had a huge electrical problem my mechanic showed me what happend and were the radio module aka i think stock gtp amp shorted out. He told me the best bet would be to run my own speaker wire from the speakers to the cd player so if i want to hook my own amp up i will never have this problem again.

    So far today i ran 14gauge wire from both back speakers and driverside door to my cd player. Now all that i have left to do is to run my own radio wire from the pasanger door to the radio and hook up power ground and ignition.

    So does any one have any idea on what color the

    ignition wire is
    power wire is
    ground wire is

    When you want to run an amp you'll have to run more speaker wire because the only place to put an amp in these cars is the trunk or under the passenger's seat.

    i was thinking about an small amp under/behind the glove or else a medium sized one will fit inside the center counsel (not the center glove box but if you pulled up on the trim around the shifter there is alot of space down there like under the ash tray) as well might even be able to fit an big amp.... and run the wires that way. Nice and Easy
