Default Standard FG Audio Head Unit + After Market Amplifier

Hi ASL,

I was just wondering about the possibilities of using Alpine Amplifiers with the Stock ICC and Head unit of an FG XR6.

Just as an example, there is a pack that Alpine supply:

MRX-V60 5/3 Channel Amp
SPS-610cg TYPE-S 6.5 ̋ Component Speaker
SPS-610g TYPE-S 6.5 ̋ Coax Speakers
SWS-1243D TYPE-S 12 ̋ SubWoofer

Could you confirm if the size of these speakers would suit an FG Sedan?

Is there a method to install these with the stock Head Unit?

Thank you very much for your time, I'm doing a little bit of research as my parents may be purchasing an FG falcon sometime soon.

I think he used a high level converter to convert the factory speaker wires to RCA

Default Re: Standard FG Audio Head Unit + After Market Amplifier

Hi guys,
I am installing a 4channel amp for my speakers. I was wondering if anyone can help me with where to connect the remote wire to. My car does have the factory premium amp in the boot which I am leaving to power the sub. Does anyone know if I can tap into any of those wires for the remote?
I would prefer that the amp can be on when the radio is operating wothout the key in the ignition if possible.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would be looking at the wiring going into and out of the amplifier. there are wiring diagrams for some fg stuff on here on fordforums. youd be sure to find one there somewhere.
