Hi everyone, I've just bought myself a 2007 3.0r Spec B, which I am quite pleased about. But, in my previous car I’ve had the Pioneer AVHP8400BH double din touch screen, with USB, SD card, Bluetooth etc.
I’ll be wanting to install this in my Liberty. I’ve extensively read this forum, and tried to get an understanding of what is required to put this head unit in my car. So here is what I plan to do, could people who are more expert in all things Liberty tell me if this will work or if I’m dreaming and will end up in tears.
First I will buy the JDM double din unit with dual zone air con controls.
Then I will purchase an Alpine PDX V9 5 channel amp to replace the McIntosh amp under the passenger seat.
Also I’ll need three of these RCA audio cables?
So I hook up the ignition/power/earth to the Pioneer head unit, but no speaker wires. I run three RCA cables out of the head unit and plug into the Alpine amp.
This is where I get confused….so will the speaker inputs from the McIntosh amp plug straight into the Alpine amp? Is there any kind of tricky re-wiring that needs to happen from unplugging the speakers from the McIntosh and then plugging into the Alpine? I talked to a fella who runs a car audio business, and he reckons with these McIntosh systems you have to re-wire the speakers themselves because of something to do with the way the audio is split……? I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!
