hear is the thing when i bought the cd player i cut the harness off the factory speakers and well i hard wired it up ok and i had just ran in to radio shack and bought 3 rca plug inlets and for the audio comming off the ps2 to plug in i put in one of the rca plug in's the front speakers then on the second i put in the back and subs and well in the 3rd one i put all speakers in it and well the way i figured it up as long as you have a volume butten on your tv then you should not need to even have to have your cd player on inless to kick on the amp so all you would have to do there is run a second remote wire to something that can turn on like the tv or something like that. well just give me your feed back.
