So which is preferred? I'll be running to standard Pyle 6.5's powered by a Kenwood BT852HD Headunit.
From my Metra HarnessThis guy ( http://www.dodgedakotas.com/boards/aud/1075.html ) statesIn order for the factory amplifier to turn on and off, connect the blue wire on the harness to the aftermarket radios amplifier turn on wire
You can cut out the amp if you want and use the amp in the headunit if you wnat to. the amp is easy to find, take off the right Kick panel and there are 2 plugs. One coming from the headunit with 8 wires and one leaving with 12 wires, the 4 extra wires are Power and ground, 2 for each. If you jumper it or cut the amp out of the look, pull the fuse in the panal in the left side.
