OOOORRRR you can just get any new JL amp, splice the exisiting rear speaker cables and connect rca's to it.....then u can use that as the rca's but have no rear stage.....not like u can hear it anyway, right?

Are there any certain settings you need to use(neutral, feel, hear, -5 bass, etc..)?

My friend blew 2 converters already in his box. He blasts his onj "feel" mode. I've left mines in neutral and had no problems yet. "Feel" just sounds better though

not really, just that when u fade it to the back more it turns the sub up, and fade to the front, it turns it down, if u have a good sounding sub/amp combo, or if u can turn the amp up remotely, you could leave it faded +2 or +3 to the front and it will still pound.. thing i i'm not sure about the remote to turn the amp on...i'll look into that and letu know

You can tap into the antenna power wire for remote turn-on. IIRC that's how the Bazooka is wired.

I'm thinkin of CIRCUIT CITY or BESTBUY to hook it up but it will cost me... ... Is der any way that i can do it myself without paying dose tech guys? Where can I find an instruction manual so that I can do it myself without electrocuting myself or toasting da wires. PLEASE HELP... thanks.

Should come with directions? There's already pre-wiring somewhere in the cargo area. Should be plug and play. At least that's what I've read in the past.
