Message: [QUOTE="Kreep, post: 1503122, member: 29995"] 1. It depends on if you have Sony or not. If you have Sony, the PAC unit mentioned earlier or the iDatalink Maestro AR canfeed an amp such as the Kenwood XR600-6DSP. My truck has Nav but not Sony so these are not an option. Instead, the hot ticket is to use FORScan to reprogram the head unit (ACM) which will result in a perfectly clean, flat, balanced output. Throw in a Parrot for-11ck wiring harness and you are in business. A word of caution if you are planning to just feed high level inputs to new amps. In either case the factory does some significant signal modification. Also, the ACM has resistance sensing. Without a speaker (or amp with high impedance inputs) hooked up it sends the chimes and such to the IPC instead and you can't hear them with the stereo playing... 2. The center channel would only be used if you care how it sounds in the passenger seat. It is a 3.5" speaker but looks to me like a 4" would fit. The real problem here is that there aren't at lot of signal processors that can properly upmix the center channel. JBL MS8 (with Logic 7) and Alpine PXA-H800 (Dolby Pro Logic) are the only two currently available (L + R and L - R solutions don't count). However, the MS8 is discontinued (available on Ebay for ~$425) and the $750 PXA-H800 requires the use of the $300 RUX-C800 single DIN controller (or certain Alpine head units). There are rumors of options from Audio Frog, Zapco and Arc but nothing available currently. [/QUOTE]
