As far as the power antenna to the amp, I don't know.
But the stock Monsoon units, don't have RCA outputs, is that what you mean by jacks? Get the PAC-OEM 1 adapter, and that gets plugged into your Monsoon, and will enable you to have RCA outputs. The adapter comes with directions on how to plug everything in, so don't worry.

I don't know the PAC website off the top of my head, maybe someone else will post it?

Yeah thats what I mean. I did end up getting the OEM-PAC. The amp is installed and working fine. It was my first time doing this type of project, and I must say I did a good job <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> My thanks to those who responded.
