The PAC-24 is the same as any other remote turn on high/low level adapter, but it has one major convenience in that it has the wires/plugs for the factory harness already installed and ready to go. To install it, search on this board. There are several people that have done it. If you have more specific questions, let me know as I just installed mine not to long ago. As for replacing the front speakers, you need to go with a 4 ohm set. Get something that's got light weight drivers, and a high output rating at 1 watt, otherwise the factory amps will not be able to produce enough controlled sound to keep up with an added amp/sub. If the front speakers aren't blown though, they really just need some cleaner power and equilization to sound MUCH better than they do off of the factory amp. I'd recommend getting a clean/small amp for the fronts, and add a passive EQ for the whole system before getting new door speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
