• The audio signals are passed through the T-harness to your aftermarket amplifier or signal processor, which then processes and amplifies the sound for your aftermarket speakers.
• Adjustments to sound quality (e.g., bass, treble, balance, fader) will primarily be managed through your factory radio, while specific amplifier settings (gain, crossover) will be managed on the aftermarket equipment.
