sup diyma.
I have a friend with a '12 focus and the upgraded sony system. before i dig into his car i was trying to do some reasearch and i was not comming up with much!
I dont know how many people have upgrade to an aftermarket amplifier\subwoofer\speaker setup in the new fords, but that is what we are doing.
we are trying to retain the stock headunit. i will be installing an arc audio xdi805, german meistro concept component speakers up front, and a custom fiberglass box for a sundown audio SA8v2.
before i make him buy some line output converter and anything else, i was interested to know if the sony headunit has low level phono outputs (RCA connectors) - or does it only have high level speaker outputs?
basically i am interested to know what signal goes from the stock radio to the stock amplifier. if i can tap into that, and it outputs low level rca signal that an aftermarket amplifier can use, i do not need a line output converter. if it is not - then i need to know if i need to tap in before, or after the stock amplifier.
other than that i have all my bases covered.
maybe if anyone has images of behind the sony radio, that would also be helpful before i take his car apart.
thanks guys.
i did find some stuff, but im not sure how accurate it will be until i open his car.
