Is it possible to upgrade the stock radio from no-JBL to the JBL 6disc changer without using the JBL Amp? I shorted out my audio outputs on the non-JBL and have found a replacement JBL version for less than what it would cost to replace it under warranty. I have a 4-channel amp running with the JL Audio CleanSweep.

When the amp is unplugged all the "Sound" controls on the display are disabled.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Vagabond @ Sep 5 2007, 12:51 PM) [snapback]507474[/snapback]</div> ohhh oops. So he has an amp running JL Audio etc etc and he just wants to know if the JBL radio with the CD Changer will work with his current setup?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Sep 5 2007, 07:09 PM) [snapback]507709[/snapback]</div> That's what it sounds like.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Sep 5 2007, 09:09 PM) [snapback]507709[/snapback]</div> yes, that is exactly what i'm asking.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ryanschram @ Sep 8 2007, 10:39 AM) [snapback]509123[/snapback]</div> Sorry, the simple answer is "No". The radio and amp are integrated in the JBL system, and it isn't possible to use either separately.
