What is a high level input on an amp?
High level inputs means that you are using the speaker wire leads off of the back of the radio instead of using the RCA connections. Amp manufacturers started using high level inputs to allows for easier integration into newer vehicles where so much of their data is controlled from the factory radio.
How do I add an amplifier to my Jeep stereo?
If you do not have a factory amplifier installed, then you can either interface at each rear speaker and tap into the lead there, or you can interface with the speaker output wires at the receiver (recommended). Again, refer to the link below to figure out which color wires to interface with.
Where is the power wire on a jeep?
Some Jeeps have a spare/unused grommet in the fire wall that can be used as a pass through for your power wire. If you do not have a spare grommet, you can piggyback through another grommet or drill a hole and make your own.
How do you connect an amplifier to a factory stereo?
Run two of these cables from the dash to your new amplifier. You’ll need one for the amp’s input and the other for its output. These cables will act like a “T-harness” to connect your amp to the factory system. Behind the factory radio, you can access all of the speaker wires in one place.
How is an amplifier connected to a speaker?
Lupe, The only way sound can get to the speakers is through wires connected to your amplifier’s outputs. You can run speaker wiring from the amp to your vehicle’s factory speaker wiring via the harness behind the radio. Use 9-wire cable.

Where do the speakers go to connect to the AMP?
The wires would run from one black connector to the other (the right side of the photo below). But since we’re using an external amplifier for the speakers, the speaker wires from the car get diverted to the amp — that’s the bundle of wires on the bottom plug heading left to the amplifier.
