Am I crazy?

[DirtySouthHonda]

I'm getting 2 12" Emerson 600 Watt Subwoofers and a Boss RT345 600 Watt Amplifier put in my CB7. I'm also getting the Amplifier kit. My question: will I need a CD changer to run everything without buying a CD player or can I use my factory tape deck to run everything while running an adapter and a portable CD player?

you can use the factory tape deck. you have to hook it up through the high level imput. it should have some instruction with the amp you buy. the high level imput basiclly just splices into some wires and plugs into the side of the amp. later.

*sigh* im sorry you spent money on that before consulting this forum.

If you don't mind me asking, how much you spent on all that?

[Bongo]

just wondering, why not get a new head unit first?

There is no point in having a sub and amp if you cant control the sound that comes out of them. with the OEM deck you are verry limited with the built in EQ

You could get an OEM intagration unit but they range in the same proce as a new deck.

I think you should get a head unit.

[roostaccord91]

waste of money without a head unit.

its like having a 1985 Ford Tempo stock, nothing added to it and buying a full badass supercharger.

all that system for extras but no main power to support it. bad idea if you didnt get the head unit.

[dkid1]

no good

sale all that stuff back and get a head unit first then worry about that other stuff

[roostaccord91]

why not just buy a head unit that will fit to the standards of the set up he has now. be as lot easier i think

[gloryaccordy]

Get a new headunit x 12

[Calxtreme]

I also agree that you should definately get a HU.... In fact, Upgrade the speakers before hooking up the sub.

jeez enough on the guy already, i think he go the point. maybe he didnt buy the stuff. you dont need a after market head unit to get good sound out of a system for all of you who think differently WHERE are your facts. we install systems on 350zs and all kinds of new cars where taking the radio out and replacing it is just not an option.. let him do his thing,

to answer your question no your not crazy. good start. just make sure the amplifier you have has a high level input if not let me know i have a kit at work that you can connect the speaker wires from the rear speakers to and the output is low level rca jacks to the amp...

lets jes hope hes not rocking stock speakers with this setup.
