OK I see .... so after installilng the resistor then the RCA jacks on the Crutchfield harness plug into the subwoofer RCA jacks on the head unit. After all is plugged in the RCA jacks intended for the speaker AMPS are not used correct? .. Only the subwoofer RCA jacks are used?

ALSO .. can I ground the 5V resistor to the same wire used for the radio ground or should it be seperated? I see the radio ground is built into the crutchfield harness.


I'm assuming all this is covered in the Crutchfield install guide they include .... but just want to make sure ...



Thanks!

The adapter that comes with the radio, which has rca's for front, rear, and subs. This connector plugs into the back of the radio. Then the sub harness pictured on the right of the crutchfield link from above, these rca's go into the sub rca's from the head unit adapter. You can use the same ground, but there are plenty of locations in the stereo area, I used a separate one just for good measure.

And when soldering, use a gator clamp "heat sink", because those leads will get hot, and don't wont to ruin the regulator. I was new at soldering, and had a hell of a time. I know, to the experts, it might take them only a minute. For the sub's harness, in getting both the wires onto the out lead of the regulator, I has some spare wire which I crimped both of them to, then just soldered my single spare wire to the out lead.


Hope this isn't getting too confusing.

Nope ... you've been a great help .... install should be a breeze. I wonder if anybody makes are larger and simpler to install 5V regulator?

I was wondering if either of you guys could let us know how the HU is?

why not....I owe a brand new convertible top and inner door panels due to circuit city's incompetence. SeriouslyI had alpine speakers installed in my previous vehicle (2000 Camaro convertible) the idiot was drilling holes for the rear speakers with the top down. Drilled 2 pin holes right through the top. it was an inconveninece, but it actually got me a brand new top for my car that i was in need of.....LOL...but backinblack is right....take it to a reputable person

You aren't talking to me are you? I was asking HOW the HU is, I know what it is.
