I have a new car - a 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has the infinity gold system, as did my 1996. However I have NO space to mount the empeg in *addition* to the stock unit, so I can just use it as another source as I did in the old Jeep. So I have to assemble my PCATS kit and install the unit as THE headunit.

I know for a fact that the inputs to the stock infinity amp are "speaker level" - as many people have told me how they replaced the factory headunit and just hooked up the speaker outs to the inputs with no problems. (Verified by crutchfield, etc).

Will the 4v preamp outs have enough "grunt" to drive the factory amp? Can anyone think of an easy way to boost the level or "match" it if I need to? Yes, swapping amps would be best, and I might have to do that.. But Id like to keep it if its financially sane to do so.

Comments??? Thanks!!
