What about 7.1.


I'm really considering at the very least just changing out the amplifier. Everything I read says it's the weakest point and you won't regret it.

Does the FARK harness eliminate the center speaker for me, or will I need to get into the dash and disconnect it myself?

That is very very very true!!! The amp makes a hell of a difference.

you don't need to disconnect it. when you replace the amp, nothing will be driving it anymore. I am trying to remember how that is all hooked up now. May want to go back and read on that a little, it's been 4 years since I replaced it, and I had help.

Sub thump had a short instructional help video on how to install the harness I'll use.

I believe the FARK harness was for hooking in a separate sub as a filter/pass for the bass.

Just the FARK alone won't kill the center speaker. I have the FARK to add a sub to my BA system and I still have the center speaker. Gonna try and disconnect it tonight though and finally see the difference

From what I understood it was for both, if you wanted to hook in for a sub, you had to have an amplifier that also had RCA out and not just RCA in, that way you could hook to a 2nd amplifier for the subs. But I could be wrong.

Suppose I wouldn't need to do that until I would add a sub.

it also helps curb some of the road noise and exhaust into the cab. Thus improving your music/sound.
