Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying the Pioneer DEH-80PRS. What i want to know is if I can leave the stock tweeters and roll bar speakers connected directly to the deck and have my 2 channel amp connected to my non component JL mids (I actually think these are more like full range speakers).
I know its better to run components and just forget about the roll bar speakers but i want to see what my options are first before buying new speakers. I also have 2 other pairs of decent non component speakers and would like to use at least one of the pairs.

According to the manual, i don't think i can as there's dip switches for internal or external amp but i could be wrong and would like clarification

I have an 06 AP2

any help will be appreciated

Thanks

 

While I have no experience with that headunit, with most headunits the internal amp
is completely independent of the preamp outputs (RCAs) - if you have an external amp
you can turn off the internal amp but don't have to.
Many people run the roll bar speakers off the headunit, and the fronts off an external
amp. While in theory you could also run the factory tweeters off the headunit with
the mids powered by the amp, you won't have a good way to level match the tweeters and
mids as you'll be running them off the same channel.

 

I know that hu are like that and every hu I used is also indipendemt with the built in amp which is why I'm kinda co fused when I look at the manual. I'm hoping this deck is like that so I can still use the tweeter and bar speakers. If this works, I'm planning on matching the speakers with the gain on the amp (i know its not the best way) as I wont be able to adjust them on the deck as they are running off the same channel.
