Hey All,
I'm about to install my first car system and have questions. I've done a few club system installs, so I know a little bit...prolly enough to really screw things up. ^_^
Is the blue antenna power wire functional for anything?
Should I trim down the wires between the headunit jack and the car harness adaptor before crimping/soldering?
Crimp or solder/tape?
Any advantage to putting some rca jacks on the wiring harness adaptor and use the line outs instead of the speaker outs on the headunit jack? (saw that in a diagram here). Its highly unlikely that I'll use an amp on the door speakers in the future...and if i did, I'd prolly make runs to the speakers rather than using the harness.
Should I use the power and ground leads from the car's wiring harness adaptor or wire directly?
Do I need this 2 din mount, or can I just pop the single din headunit into the existing single din spot?
Thanks for any advice.
Eclipse CD3050 is the headunit by the way.
