Differances in wiring with OEM AMP?

[gwoodruf]

I have all the components of the rockford fosgate OEM with amplifier system. Now I'm trying to install it in my non-amplifier 2008 evolution X MR.

Anyone know the wiring changes I need to make to re-route the sound through the amp?

When you look at the wiring diagrams you can see for example on a no-amp system the Left Rear goes D-20 -> D-36 -> C-104 on an amp one it goes D-20 -> D-26 -> AMP -> D-26 -> C-22 -> C-104. Both start at D-20 (the speaker) and end at C-104(the raid). Where would I change those wires? The wiring harness can't be different can it? Doesn't there have to be some obvious place they go when they are installing the amp system at the factory and make controlled changes?

If anyone can let me know what changes I would need to make to re-route through the amp I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

looks like you will be doing some custom wiring

if i may ask, why buy the stock RF stuff? it would be a lot cheaper and easier to go aftermarket....

At this stage pretty much have to. I got the speakers, sub and amp all in one package. The speakes I thought were really good. And a 5 channel amp that small is pretty rare.

For those of you reading this a rockford amp removed from a sss car is worth nothing. You can never modify a non-amp system into an amp system. If you disbelieve me because it seems so retarded to have a custom wiring harness you are right. But there is no way to get a rockford amp workin in a non-amp car without super crazy efforts. And even if you do you are going to have follow up problems with bits not being set in the cars systems and the dealers having no idea how to help you.

so does that mean you arent installing it? it would be pretty cool, but a lot more work than buying an aftermarket head unit and after market amp and speakers haha

There is absolutely no sensible way to turn a oem non-amp lancer into an oem amp lancer. The wiring is completely different in many many places. Although this seems super retarded on Mitsubishi's part it is so. One guy that PMed me has replaced the entire dash and floor wiring harnes for his car and his front speaker still don't work.

The sss door speakers are very easy to install and instantly improve the sound alot. However and oem amp is totally useless and is good for nothing.

I got all the pieces in a package so I can make use of the sub box and the door speakers. But the amp forget it.
