Title: Stock Radio Voltage out to power amp
Post by: V8Demon on December 03, 2018, 04:33:41 AM
I know with the stock premium sound in our cars the amp takes 12 volts from the head unit. 

I know on the later style head units there was a switch at some point in the mid 90s to where the power output to an amp was 5 volts.....


Anyone know when that exact switch was made and if any of the mid 90s JBL amps are 12v or 5v?

I know this is super old but are you referring to the remote turn on led voltage from the head unit to the amp?  I know for sure that the 1994 and up Mustangs have 5V+ for the remote amp turn on.

To get around it you can use this:
