amp for speakers
I been looking into a small amp that doesn't require much work to install. Hoping to install it behind the glove compartment so that I can just use the factory speaker wire from the radio. I have an aftermarket deck installed already. I was just looking for a little more power so that I can install component in the back door also. Most of these are around $100 on Amazon. Any suggestions?
The options are:
Pioneer GM-D1004

Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack

Any one of those would do what you want. I like the Pioneer or Alpine ones the best. Whatever you do don't run the power from behind the radio though. The stock power line in the xB does not carry enough current to run any of those properly so you'll still need to run the power line out to the battery.

Also if you are looking for space there is a ton under the dash to the left of the instrument cluster. It's easiest to reach by removing the whole upper dash, also makes running any wiring very easy.

Absolutely needs a fuse. Anything run directly to the battery needs to be fused within 15 inches of the battery, the closer the better. Just use the same size fuse as what is on the amp.
