I do not believe that Crutchfield is trying to trick you into buying speaker wire / rewiring your system, I just think that they made a mistake and do not know any better. I do not believe Crutchfield to be that kind of company. I think they are honest, reliable, and have fantastic deals.
Pretty much what my first post says....I don't want to spend money on an amp to keep the subs already in the car so I was wondering if I should just get an aftermarket sub to avoid getting the amp and crossover since it would be cheaper. The main problem I have is with the last bullet.
This is what it says when I try and add the head unit to my cart:
What you need to know:- The harness does not supply connections for the front speakers, so you will need to run new speaker wires to your front speakers.
- The harness does not supply connections for the rear speakers, so you will need to run new speaker wires to your rear speakers.
- When used in this vehicle, the functions of the yellow and red wires in the Crutchfield harness are reversed. The yellow wire supplies ignition power, and the Red wire supplies constant power.
- You will need to bypass your factory amp by running new speaker wires from the radio to the amp location and splicing the new speaker wires to the factory speaker wires at the output side of the amp.
- If you replace your factory radio, you will need to use an aftermarket amplifier with a low-pass crossover to retain the factory subwoofers.
