Since I know so little about stereo installs and my latest magnum "BLUE" already had the amp wired up but wouldn't work, I decided it was time to MESS with it and install my new R/T Badge!
What I ended up finding out was: previous owner had throw some straw bails in the back and crused the RCA connectors going into the amp and broke off the tip into the female RCA connectors. Since I had pulled amps and speaker from TWO other cars I thought maybe I could just wire up the different amp and add speakers.
So here is WHAT ID MODDED TODAY!!!!
I removed this amp ~ with the damaged RCA connectors...

I replaced it with this amp and wired it up... only diffenence was this amp will NOT connect to the front BASE BOOST connector mounted in the dash.

Then I removed this speaker; amp didn't want to drive this ONE hard enough and I don't know how to "Bridge" the amp for more power!

I then added these speakers that I had in one of the cars we are NOT driving right now. Then Tee adjusted everything and I was impressed at the sound ~ sure NOT show quality, but nice sound.

Then I headed back inside and got my NEW R/T grille emblem and it just snapped in because I have the Honeycomb type grille! I love the look and actually stands out better on this car because of the black background of this grille.
