<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/48496/blaupunkt_amp_section.jpg"></center><p>I'm using my 87' 5KCST now as my daily driver, but I'm hurting cause I have no tunes to listen to.

I plan to use a Blaupunkt Orlando CD72 head unit with new midrange component speakers in the doors and rear deck.

My stereo has a C1 connection for adding an amplifier to my system, (See above picture).

The connector that connects to C1 has RCA connectors, but the Audi wire harness DOES NOT have these RCA connectors.

QUESTION:
How do I connect the RCA from the Stereo to the stock Audi Amplifier ??

Thanks to All,

Since you're using the Blaupunkt Headunit, what I'd recommend is simply bypassing the stock amplifiers.

Your Orlando should have somewhere around 25 W of RMS power, which is MUCH more than the stock Audi amps will provide you. (IIRC, its like 2.5 - 5 W or something.) I'm no electrical genuis by any means, but I'd think that it'd apply to many other common-sense situations. If you're taking a hugely pressurized system,(your blaupunkt) and trying to force it through something much smaller, (audi amp) you'd actually be hurting your output &amp; performance.

The only downside, of course, is that you'd need to run wires all the way back to your speakers, but I don't know a better way to do it.

Hope I helped a little, anyway

To the fronts makes sense, just up through the dash or through the pass-through to the doors depending on what your car came with. The rears are more difficult, but straighforward. Just run the wires under the center console, down the center "hump" of the car, and under the carpet. Once you get to the back seat pedestal, there's a convenient hole where other stuff is passing through. Then, you've got easy access to get to the trunk to attach to the speakers.

If you have a Delta, then the rears' should have line outs going to the factory amp.
You'll have to do some surgery to those wires and solder on RCA plugs.
But I'd do as Twisted5k recommends, skip the factory amp, run a set of speaker wires to the rear speakers.
