What you need is a line level converter. This device pinches off existing, amplified, speaker wires coming out of your OEM deck. It has RCAs on it... It changes the value of energy from amplified to line level, which your amp is looking for. You will need the standard amp install kit after that.

I recently hooked up an aftermarket cd player that had no rca jacks, I tried several ways to hook em up but none of them worked. Best thing to do is buy a Converter box. From there, its fairly simple to hook up if you know how to read lol, but i just read the papers that came with it and followed instructions. Basically, only thing i had to do was take the speaker wires out of the connector, and hook them into the converter and the rca jacks go from the converter to the amp. Mine works good know, Its about a 30 min job if you know what your doing. Its really simple honestly.

There are some cheaper car amps that have inputs direct from speaker leads, as well as RCAs. An RCA-only amp cant be used because the output from your radio will be too high.

You hook the "high-input" wires from the amp to the factory speakers. This will serve as the 'RCA' cables.

I've had a problem bypassing the factory amp in my '02 exterra to be a ble to have sound with the stereo. Any help?

Why bypass amp just get wiring diagram and hook up remote"blue wire" to the remote lead from factory amp. Or unplug amp use a meter and check which wire has power. Then turn off radio and check wire again should have no power with radio off. This will only work if factory radio is still installed. But that wire would be remote wire. Just hook up new radio remote wire to the found wire. Then connect speakers to factory plugs and use the amp.

How can you hook up an amp to your factory stereo 2007 hhr it has factory amp?

The easiest way is a Line Out Converter. you either splice off the rear speakers or if it was equipped with subwoofer then you can splice into that line. The Line Out Converter just gives you a set of RCAs and then you just hook it all up like normal.
