6 speaker system image
tony
I have an 88 Chrysler New Yorker Landau. This has a premium 6 speaker Infinity sound system. Each speaker has its own amp hooked on the back of the speaker. I bought a new deck but there is no sound because of the amps. I don't know much about this stuff, so how would I get the sound to work?
Answer
There will be a wire in the factory radio harness that activates the stock amplifiers. It works just like the remote wire for an after-market amp: apply voltage to the wire, and it will turn on the amps. If you used an adapter harness to install your new head unit, the turn-on wire in the adapter harness is blue. Connect this to the blue/white wire from the new deck.
If you didn't use an adapter harness, you'll have to try to identify the correct wire. Usually the factory wire color is green/red, green/black, or light green.

How to 5.1 car audio surround sound system?
Lyricalyjy
Hello,
i've been doing some research on car audio systems for sisters birthday but im a bit stuck.
my sister loves classical music and listening to them (really loud) in her car while shes going to work or in any occasions.
So for her birthday im planning on upgrading her car audio system (in a tight budget) to a decent level so that she can enjoy her music how it was suppose to sound like.
Ive did some research and from my opinion, getting a really good 5.1 or even 7.1 surround sound in a car is best for listening to classical music.
Can anyone please help me out on what I need to get and what I should shop for? I personally know how to do electrical wiring's and installations but have limited knowledge on sound systems.
I am a college student so im in a tight budget
thank you

Option: convenience package (i believe standard 6 speaker sound system *not Bose))

Are u sure 5.1 is the way to go? What is your source material? If its just CDs they were very probably recorded in stereo, classical or otherwise. You don't gain anything by running a stereo recorded track into a 5.1 system.
If you're going to replace the head unit with a DVD player then maybe. But then what is your sisters song collection? If its on cd and not DVD then again u may not want to spend the cash if she isn't going to make use of the benefits.
So next question, does she need a new head unit? Does she use some technology that isn't in her car now? Like if she uses her phone for music then she might like bluetooth. But if all she does is listen to CDs then she doesn't need a new head unit.
And know that the car engineers use eq and delay in the head unit to make the sound the best it can be. If u swap out the head unit then u will lose that advantage.
Plus a 5.1 system would assume you have a center channel speaker. Is that the case? Is there a place to put a center speaker in the dash?
So if I've talked you out of 5.1 and into stereo, and you want volume then you need to amplify the 6 speakers and add a subwoofer. The easy trick is to buy the wire harness adaptor to take speaker level off the back of head unit. Then you can run high level to the amp input and run amp output back to the dash to use the car wiring to get to the speakers.
You need to decide the amp wattage. There are plenty of reasonable 4 channel amps with about 100w per channel that will be a big step up. Like maybe kenwood kac2404s. And it would be worth it to pick kne with built in eq for each channel. At least if your sister has a sense for good audio its worth it. If its just volume then maybe not.
You will need to pick 6 speakers of power handling to match. Know that the instrument panel speakers are wired in parralel with the door speakers. Also the Nissan speakers are 2 ohm speakers. So that is a difference that Affects sound level. Check crutchfield for speakers that fit your car.
And u might as well pick a powered sub already in an enclosure. It's the easy route.
Good luck.
