is there a way to hook up a power amp and subs to my factory system in a 2004 Monte Carlo?

Question

does my factory cd player have pre-amp outputs for my audio signal to my amp

Answer 1

yes to above you can even use your rear speaker wires in place of rca cables then just install your amp and subs as norm

Answer 2

The device Conjote_99 linked to above will not work in your vehicle; it's only for GM Bose systems with fixed outputs. These are only used in a few models and your Monte Carlo is not among them. Conjote_99, check the vehicle application list in your link.

A standard line-out converter or an amp with high-level inputs will work in your car.

Answer 3

What you need is called a line out converter. You use your existing speaker wires from the rear to hook it up. You can get these at walmart and the directions are simple enough. The down side is you don't get the adjustability like if you had a new deck. Also the sound quality suffers from going trough the converter. Good Luck

Answer 4

Do you have a separate ability amp for the subs? If no longer, hook the subs directly to the speaker cables of the producing facility unit (probable won't have lots quantity). in case you do, and the producing facility amp would not have line outputs (oftentimes RCA jacks), you will could purchase a line output converter the hooks to the speaker cables on the producing facility unit.

Answer 5

In addition to Deez answer, you can also get an amp that has high level inputs.

Just be sure the amp you buy is CEA-2006 compliant.

Answer 6

you need the interface with the factory gm plugs and rca jack it is the best way to go and the sound quality is great no noise and takes the signal from all 4 speakers

Answer 7

sure there is, all u need from ur factory system is the audio signal. the aftermarket stuff will do the rest by itsself. in other words, aftermarket is its own animal, using ur original equip signal.
