The factory amp should be able to utilize that speaker-level signal without much, if any issues.
But until someone tries my experiment (since I can't, or else I would) we won't know for sure. It should only take a few minutes once you identify the two wires, and I believe there are schematics and plug diagrams posted somewhere on this forum.....
And yes, obviously, according to @ Tcoat their "solution" didn't work well. So again, I would like to nominate Tcoat to help us all out and confirm for us what I suspect (and help himself out in the process.) |
The incompatibility is probably that the Harmon unit has an amp internally and the stock one doesn't. Double amp sounds dicey
