What Do I Need?

[chriscd254]

hi to everyone,,i finally installed a oem navigation head unit,,everything works great,,xm,steering wheel controls, all that godd stuff,,the only problem is my sound is really low,,i can barely hear the blinkers aswell,,,after researching here on the forums,i pretty muuch knew this was bound to happen because my truck did not have the bose sound system,which reallly means i dont have tht special amp..,,i just dont know what my next step is,,i do know that i will need an amp,but i am not sure what kind or even where/how to connect it,,i do plan on piurchasing an after market sound system ,but thats in the near future,,,any advice on which amp to get? as far as not having to buy another one when i install my sound,,..

 

thanks in advance to any help,, God bless

Just did the same upgrade to my truck, If you the UQ3 sound package you will need a 4 channel amp or 5 channel if you a sub, a PAC AOEM-GM1416 line out converter, and a sub if you want. I used a Pioneer 4 channel GM-9500F and the PAC converter, a Blaupaunt th200b sub (it has its own amp) and the sound is really very good right now compared to what it started like .... You have to make a change to the PAC wiring in order to get the signal back to your orig wires from the amp , originally it just ties into the wires to get the signal and not amplifying it. There is a post here on the site for the info or you can pm me for the details on what to do ,
