ok i'm putting an all new system in my car. i have my headunit, 2 amps (1 for subs and 1 for other speakers), and my front stage speakers. i started with the mach 460 system but i have totally removed everything(all the amps, speakers, the headunit and the wiring). i have run my 4 gauge wire from the battery to the trunk and hooked up both of my amps and i have wired them to my speakers. the only thing i need to know how to do is how to wire up the headunit to run everything.

 

what kind of speakers are you using?

 

i'm runnin Focal 165 A1 component set

 

What head unit are you using?

 

nice speaks, what kind of amps?

It will help if you list all the makes and model #'s of the stuff your puttin in.

i guess I am a little confused by your question. The deck will get the normall power, ground and switched wires but rather then using the speaker outputs you will use the RCA outs.

Page 2 of my cardomain page shows a deck integrated into the mack systems.

 

ok we'll start from the top:

HU- Kenwood DDX6019
Speakers- Focal 165 A1 components
Speaker Amp- Focal 2.75
Subs- 2 JL 13" W1 V2's
Sub Amp- JL 500/1

if any other info is needed i can give it. now about my question. my car does not have a wiring harness for the headunit. do i just have to wire up the power, ground, starter and antenna to the headunit and then run the RCA's to my amps? or is there more to it than that? i really just wanna know what i have to wire up. any info helps and if anyone has a color coded wiring diagram for the mach 460 that would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Look a the harness ttocs uses. That's what you need to avoid splicing

 

check page 2 of my cardomain page. You can buy the FDO2B hrns at any parts store for $10 or walmart. It will have the same color codes as your deck so all you will need to do is connect red to red, yellow to yellow, ect.... all you will need is the switched, constant, ground and dimmer.

Now to be honest, This is someREALLY niceequipment to be putting in to be asking this basic of a question. If you are not sure the wires the deck needs do you undstand the wiring the amps will need? The deck will be the easiest part of that install is why I am concerned.

 

yes i know how to wire up the rest. the only reason im asking is to make sure that im not missing anything. ive done many installs of amps, subs and speakers but never the entire thing. ive done my research and i know my stuff when it comes to equipment though. the problem that i was having was when i would ask what i needed to wire up, people would just tell me to get that speacial harness from crutchfield. they didnt understand that my car doesnt have the wiring to hook that up to. so i was just making sure that im not missing anything before i get it all put together.

 

WE do not understand why you do not have the wiring because YOU have not told US that the wiring is not there, or why? Every mustang has wiring in the dash, why doesn't yours?
