I can't find a forum anywhere that has a straight answer on what's truly needed. Everytime I read a forum, I learn something new that needs to be done. So let me just explain a run down of everything I'm wanting to do, and please, help me!
I'm replacing my Shaker 500 system with a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD 7" In-Dash Double-DIN DVD AV Receiver. Eventually, I'm adding 2 12" subs to the back with a mono D amp. What I want to happen is I want to install that Pioneer unit and have all of my speakers work with it (including the crappy Shaker subs), and still have the ability to add the other 2 subs later. So, here's where I get lost.
Wiring Harness: I've heard you need to get the Clutchfield PAC wiring harness, such as the PAC C2R-FRD1. But then I've heard people say you can just use one like the Scosche FDK11B. What's the difference between these two, outside of the price? What's the thing included with the PAC? And last, is there anything else I need if I buy just the Scosche or the PAC, as in ANYTHING else or do these wiring things do the trick?
Shaker Door Sub Replacement: I also plan on replacing my door subs with a Kicker Mid system. When looking into this, I heard that you need to replace some kind offactory stereo amp to get much more power out of the subs. What type of amp do I need to replace this with? And can I get an example?
I guess overall, is there a bullet list of everything that I need to do and what I need? My Cobalt was so much easier to replace this junk
