• A:Answer They did with me. I brought along an amp wiring kit that was a lot less expensive than what they would've used and just told them to use that. They even gave me back parts that they didn't use.

Q: Questionhello, im trying to hook up my aftermarket amp through the factory amp speaker wires that run to it. After i cut my RCA cable there are 4 wirescoming out, grey,white,red,black. All i need to know is which ones are + and - for the right and left ? Thanks!!

Asked 8 years ago by joee.

• A:Answer Oh my God dude, stop what you're doing right now! You can't just talk cut RCA wires and hook to speaker inputs Because speaker inputs are considered high level and RCA is NOT! I suggest looking into buying a high level input converter, unless of course you wanna blow up your amp wreck other electrical things and maybe even start a fire!!!

• A:Answer There is no set price for tuning a stereo system. Our normal shop fee is 24.99 per 15 minutes of work. I would say at least a half hour of work to get things dialed in and sounding good

Q: QuestionI'm looking to install a 1x15 in my 2012 mustang that has the factory shaker 500. Can I LOC from the rear speakers to the sub amp cleanly? Thanks

Asked 7 years ago by Nick.

• A:Answer That depends if you have a factory amplifier or not. If you don't then yes you can tap into any one of your speakers. If you do have a factory amp, you have to tap into the speaker wires before the factory amplifier. Otherwise there's a mix-up between signals.

Q: QuestionHow much does the Geek Squad charge for a subwoofer install? I have a JBL GTBassPro12 which has the amp built into the enclosure with the sub. How much would yall charge for installing that. I have purchased an amp wiring kit also.

Asked 8 years ago by Chellzo.

• A:Answer Depending on how the wiring goes for the JBL GT BassProl2, you should be looking at $99.99 for the amp installation fee, $5 materials charge fee, and if it is being attached to the factory radio there could be a custom labor charge assessed. It sounds like you're ready to go with all the parts, so please speak with your local Autotech to schedule your appointment today!
