Hi Adam, and Group, First you should be sure you have an Amp and not a Booster. Although possible DIN-8 is normally not used for low impedance. If you do have a Booster it is probably preporitury to the head unit that was stolen. If you have an Amp then check to see if you have RCA jacks on it this will be the low impedance inputs to connect to the new head unit. If the new does not have any modular jacks at all it means it is amplified internally and you should only connect it to a Booster. With regards to the re-wiring of the DIN-8, This information should come from the manufacturee of the Amp. Hope this helps Cheers Eric '85 900s T / '85 900T 5d a-aulicknopsam.edu wrote in message <6it7tb$s0b$1nopsam1.dejanews.com>... >A friend of mine (hi, Steph) had the radio stolen out of her '89 >Saab 900.
