Has anyone had experience installing an aftermarket stereo in place of the ole "Skipper 500"? How do you re-connect the Sub woofer amp? The new unit has pigtail connections with rca jacks.

you need a line output converter. its a little block that has rca inputs on one end and regular speaker wires on the other. i just replaced my alpine head unit for a double din jvc, which btw is the best!!!!
Do you have pics, i have the alpine cda 9983 (im think im at work so cant check), but that extra pocket is just and eye sore, i want something to fill it and a double din would be great to have in there ! (sorry to jack the thread guys)
i hope this worked. im no photographer, and not sure if these pics are gonna come out but here it goes. one is a dvd which the pic came out like i thought it would. but at least you can see what it'll look like
THANKS FOR THE INFO. I GOT THE RIGHT WIRE HARNESS FROM CRUTCHFIELD AND INSTALLED BUT THE SUBS DON'T WORK, AS FARE AS I CAN TELL FROM THE FORD WIRING SCHEMATIC THE SUB AMPS ARE POWERED SEPERATELY FROM THE RADIO. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

my subs didnt work either after changing out my head unit. what i found was the subwoofer settings in the aftermarket radio were preset to zero. hope that helps im assuming you wired in the voltage regulator correctly
