Folks
I have a healthy 2005 Magnum RT in Billet Metallic with the rec 6 speaker audio/nav that I purchased new and continue to enjoy. Overall I'm satisfied with the quaility of the audio having over time upgraded the Kicker amp, dash speakers and the rear 6x9's.
I want move to a newer touchscreen receiver with a round physical volume knob, CD, and wired Apple Car Play. I'm looking at the Jensen VX4024 which is reasonably priced. However, when installed I will lose the fader capability if I stay with the factory kicker amp.
I'm working on a tight budget, don't need Navigation, and don't want to spend more than $300.00 for the receiver. My quandary is between using the existing downstream Kicker Amp / speaker combo which I'm satisfied with, or replacing the amp and perhaps having to add component speakers.
My wiring question is:
Since the kicker amp is located under the front dash, can I access the existing 6 speaker wiring harness at the kicker amp location? It might simplify the installation of an aftermarket amp if I decide to eliminate the factory kicker amp.
Thanks to anyone that shares there ideas, recommendations and advice!
