Hey all,
Been a while since I had to fiddle with my stereo upgrade, but now the OEM head unit is dead. I decided t go with a Kenwood DNX697s with Maestro RR interface from Crutchfield. My question is can I eliminate the stock amp on 2011 Sony nav systems and just use the 6 rca's (F,R,Sub) straight into my Arc Audio PS8 processor? I can sum and bandpass the front channels in the processor for the F. Tweeters & mids. But I seem to remember from past reading here that you can't eliminate the stock amp from the system on certain years, but I think that was year 2012-14.
Shout out ot Noah @The Car Stereo Company for tuning my system back in 2017. It sounded as good as I could afford to get it and lasted longer than the Stock H.U. managed.
