the guide is great but the car has factory amps,I am wondering if i could use these or is there a way to use the speakers without rewiring them. i am using an alpine cd player what do you think . i have been researching the radio there is a speaker relay that calls the speakers on.so i am wondering if there is a factory remote wire that can be used. hope you can help me thanks
Neil, technically you could connect your 1986 Chevrolet Corvette amplifier turn on wire to the radio switched 12v+ wire. That way your amplifier is on whenever your 1986 Chevrolet Corvette is on and off whenever your 1986 Chevrolet Corvette is off. Just make sure to run an in-line 1-amp fuse on the amplifier turn on wire. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
