Hi Eugene81 ... I'm in the middle east "Oman" ... it's very hard to find someone to do plastic welding in here (there must be someone but it's hard to find ) anyway, I'm only worried about our stock amplifier - I was told that it sucks and I might need to get a better one to pull this job is this true ??

i know 300c has oem amp embbed in the front dash...
im not sure how oem amp look like...

since i have touring, there is no oem amp + crappy speakers...
i bought a 6 channel jl e6450 amp for 6 speakers...

when hooking up the amp to pc...
this is what you need...
