HELP!!Wanna add audio components to OEM CD deck
I have an '05 xB with the base model single-CD Head Unit that I want to connect an Eclipse amplifier (model #3242),(2) Eclipse 1" tweeters,(2) JL Audio 6" mid-ranges and a 12" Alpine sub-woofer to..........What I don't have is car audio experience.I've done wiring in my house and I'm very mechanical so I figure I can tackle it ......Will someone PLEASE walk me step-by-step thru an install or at least lay it out for me? I have all this stuff beggin to go!!

First you will need to purchase a Line Output Converter which you will connect to the factory Pioneer CD Player so you can run an amplifier off of it. It will turn speaker leads into RCA Jacks. I don't own an XB so I can't tell you how to install the speakers or where to put ur amp but you will need that Line Out Converter before you start anything. Otherwise buy a new CD Player.
Better off using a aftermarket cd player you will get alot better sound out of that amp and components.

Just get a replacement kit from Metra or the like that uses plug in adaptors so you don't have to touch the factory wiring...

Scionic Man is right. I installed my head unit in about 5 minutes with my metra harnesses, it was all plug and play except for the amp shutoff wire.
As for warantees, like the scionic man said: they won't cover it if you blow out your speakers, but if your wheel falls off or something you'll be fine.
