conencted amp to factory H/U - VY

[Nic92]

so my cousin wants me to install his Kenwood KAC-8105D mono amp, it has the high level input like most kenwood amps have, anyway he wants to keep the factory head unit and he wants to just replace the speakers and leave them conencted to the head unit aswell, so since it has the high level input, it wont need a high level to rca converter right?

i have never installed amps to factory head units before so im just wondering, when you connect the wires to the speaker outputs on the head unit, how do the speakers connect up with that? does the high level wires from the amp and the speaker wire connect to the speaker outputs together? like parallel wiring i'm just a little confused with that if you know what i mean?

You are correct that you don't need a line level converter if the amp has high levels.

Connect then in parallel, amp has a very high input impedance so the resistance the heady sees is effectively unchanged.

I've heard (and have no factual basis for this) that the high-inputs on the amp pale in sound quality comparison to a decent quality LLC.

High level inputs suffer in sound quality if the on-board amplifiers on the headunit are of poor quality. If this is the case, you are just further amplifying a poor signal.

Other than that, I can't quite understand what the question is. Sit down, have a look at it and come back when you can throw together a sentence that makes sense

don't worry, question is already answered.

thanks anyway

thanks for that straight up answer M1lky

if u find the sound quality poor after uve connected it, have a think about ASR
