Replacing a factory (OEM

) radio gets harder

each model year. Besides the non-standard
sizes, new models even feature volume and
tuning controls imbedded right in the steer-
ing wheel! It’s great for convenience, but
tough on the knuckles. It seems the boys in
Detroit and Japan want to make sure you
don’t throw out the original radio and re-
place it with some better model.

In all fairness, today’s crop of factory radios is
better. So rather than lose those nice steering
wheel volume controls, we’ve come up with
a way of improving your sound system by
using the High Level Inputs on the EQL and
the speaker leads from your factory radio, as
shown in Figure 7 on page 17.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which used

to mean that a car manufacturer actually built and installed
each radio. Nowadays, a factory radio is made by an aftermarket
company for installation by the car manufacturer.

It’s as simple as moving the wires from the
speakers to the EQL. Don’t worry, the EQL is
designed to effortlessly handle the higher
signal levels coming from the factory radio,
without a trace of overload or added distor-
tion.
