I started in on the audio system of my TD a few weeks ago. I have added to the alpine deck that was installed at a stereo shop in OK(looks like someone paid a crack head to install it.) The wood is broken and they hacked into the main system without using a harness(don't know if they're available) and had the antenna wire from the car attached to the remote power from the stereo At any rate, I added an alpine amp and MTX pro 10" sub in a sealed box. I did notice a few things that had me preturbed. The system is run through the little fade knob on the console and the speakers kick off if the volume is too high in which I have to turn the stereo off and on again to reset this. Now to my question. Is it recommended that I run new wires to the speakers and bypass the OE system or is there a simple fix... ..simple fix is always my favorite but I would rather it be done correctly. Thank you in advance and in case I didn't put enough smilies in here you go
