2003 Liberty B4 Stereo Install

  Top of Page

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to change my stereo in my 2003 Liberty B4. It has the old McIntosh deck in it, I have a strong feeling the (piece of Sh*t)  security  system is hooked up to the old stereo in one way or another. Can anyone confirm this for me? and if so, can it be disconnected by a simple bloke like me??

nah the brandt is stand alone mate , just remember the macintosh use's an amp for the speaker outs, and the speakers are 8ohm bad boys not 4ohm like standard speakers , to use the standard amp with a new deck you would have to work out which wires are the preouts and solder on rca's ends plus work out which is the remote on from the deck to the amp. other than that , u will have to hack the lot out:(

Its pretty easy to hook it up when you have the wiring diagram. Cause all you need to really do is connect power/ground/acc to the new unit, and then cut the speaker wires and solder to some RCA cables (which works perfectly fyi) and then plug those into the new stereo.

Mine is a bit more complicated cause i made a carputer for her smile But as above, its not to much of a hassle.

While doing it if you want a little more bass from the sub and you are handy with a soldering iron, you can solder a resistor on the amp which boosts the bass smile It was better than std  but still not enough for me. Ill be finishing the install later this year.
