Wiring route for amp power cable?

Can I use my stock VW deck with no RCA cable ports with an AMP to power subs?

  • I just went through all the trouble of wiring my entire 2000 VW beetle without checking to see if the deck had RC cable holes. Now I don't know what to do. I really like the stock deck and am not interested in buying a new deck. Is there a way to wire the stock deck into a RCA converter or something? Thanks!!!

  • Answer:

    Yes, maybe. There are amps made by most manufacturers that take speaker-level input instead of, or in addition to the line level inputs. The only gotcha is that many stock stereos use a common ground for the speakers and amps don't like that. If your speakers only have one wire or the speaker ground is the same as the car ground, you may have a problem connecting the outputs to any sort of amp. Check with your stereo dealer and ask about amps with speaker-level input.

Yes, you need to buy an adapter that can be wired to your stock deck and then to the amplifier. Check either tweeter, best buy, or circuit city. It will prob. cost about $20. I did this with an old car i used to have and it worked fine.
