Dear Angry- I think you will find it relatively simple to add some healthy bass to your existing stereo with the BassLink set-up. The most challenging part, in my opinion, will be choosing a location to pass your power cable from the engine bay through the fire wall. Sometimes you have to drill the hole yourself. I haven't added an amp to my system yet, so I don't know if there is an existing hole that will suffice. That power cable will supply the 12+ volts of power required to boost your sound. It is fused within a few inches of the battery terminal and runs to the part of the car in which you decide to mount your amp. Another challenge I have found is splicing into factory wiring in order to obtain a high-level signal for my amplifier. The BassLink is a good choice (for many reasons including) because it accepts high-level inputs. There are no RCA level outputs on the back of the factory head unit, so you use the speaker leads and hook those into the inputs on the BassLink amplifier. The other hookups are pretty simple usually. The BassLink may require a remote turn on lead. I believe this is the blue wire on the back of the head unit that has a white stripe. You can run it from the front of the vehicle along the same side as the power wire. It won't effect sound quality at all. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a rca converter. I was really easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
