Bypass Monsoon Amp
Hey everybody, new member here.
So, I've got a 2004 Alero. Stock HU did not say Monsoon on it, but I have the stock amp back in the trunk. I replaced the HU with an Alpine CDE-121.
Everything works great, sounds good, lost my chimes, but no big deal. Everything is good. Except... my volume stepping is crazy. Volume 2 is a whisper, and volume 3 is shaking the car.
From what I've been told, the Monsoon amp is just a POS and I'm better off just wiring the HU directly to the speakers, and that'll fix my volume problem too. Is that what needs to be done?
And if so, how to I bypass the amp? I don't really want to run new cables. I've looked at the Monsoon pinout here (yes, I used the search button), and everything is output..no input. So I'm confused.
Thanks ahead of time.
