where to plug in the amp!?

gooberhead320 · August 7th, 2008, 01:04 PM

i got a new stereo today. it is a xdvd8265. i cant figure out where to plug the amp wires in. any help?

here is the back of the unit

Doesnt look very amp compatable to me...

depending on the amp, there should be a front and rear for a 4 channel amp and a subwoofer for a mono amp. This is assuming that you have 3 sets of preamp outs on your head unit.

gooberhead320 · August 7th, 2008, 01:29 PM

i have everything stock except the headunit

stangnewb · August 7th, 2008, 03:26 PM

I would maybe try plugging the amp into the 5.1 channel outputs.....other than that i don't see where else the amp would plug into.

would the RCA adapter work? i know it says for 03+ and i have an 01 but is that what i should look for, but for my year?

ok i went and picked this up

Parts Express:Metra 70-5519 Ford 2000-2001 Amplifier Integrator Plug

all i needed was the one for the RCA. but i plugged it in and the amp still doesnt work. i tried plugging it into all the red and white points. do i need to tie those other wires that are attached to something?

are you trying to power up your factory mach or trying to add an aftermarket?

wraitherx · August 7th, 2008, 11:03 PM

that is a dual if im not mistaken, if you are trying to add an aftermarket then the BLUE set of RCA's are non-fading/Sub outputs, the GRAY set are the rear outputs, the BLUE are the front outputs, the YELLOW is AUDIO/VIDEO Input 1, the RED is AUDIO/VIDEO Input 2, and the GREEN is for REAR Camera input/Video output.

wraitherx · August 7th, 2008, 11:10 PM

if you are trying to power up the factory subs make sure that you connected the amp turn on wire from the car harness to radio harness. BLUE/WHITE, I think on the DUAL there is only a BLUE wire.

gooberhead320 · August 7th, 2008, 11:46 PM

thanks a lot. that helped tremedously. i think. i connected the two blue wires. but havent turned it on cause i dont know where to ground the black wire. do i put it somewhere or just let it sit there not attached to anything?

gooberhead320 · August 8th, 2008, 12:42 AM

the front two subs in the door wont work but the rest do

gooberhead320 · August 8th, 2008, 01:03 AM

nevermind i got it all figured out now. i had to wire both blue/white wires into the solid blue one in the power harness

wraitherx · August 8th, 2008, 10:37 AM

yeah the solid blue wires are for power antenna, which we dont have on our cars glad you got it working though

gtredfire03 · August 8th, 2008, 01:33 PM

On the daul radios they do not have a power ant wire, it is just a blue and that is the amp turn on. Daul doesnt use the blue/white like everyone else the the industry, they just color it blue.

correct. the metra harness i used for the amp was blue/white.

do i need to ground the wires to metal?

wraitherx · August 9th, 2008, 01:39 PM

what wires?

gooberhead320 · August 9th, 2008, 03:20 PM

there are two wires from the amp harness that say ground on them. they are gray i think

wraitherx · August 9th, 2008, 10:01 PM

yeah, I think there is a black/white wire which is the amp ground wire. anything that says ground on it just tap them into the black wire from the harness
