i bought the car and it was already wired up with a stereo system. i never had a clue how it worked and honestly didn't really care. that is until i wanted to take the darn thing OUT.
the harness that goes into the back of the deck has a few RCA cables and a harness. i cut the tape off the harness that ran into what looks like the stock wiring harness to find that only 4 out of like 20 wires were actually used. the wires were yellow, black, red, and blue. i would think i'd leave these alone? what is each color for? it's an eclipse head unit if that helps.
next is the speaker wiring...oh this is the best part.
the front drivers side dash speaker go down into a crossover and then into an amp. the passenger side dash speaker also goes down into a cross over and into an amp. basically the same deal with the back.
now the RCA cables from the back of the deck go into each of the 3 amps. 3 amps are a little cluttered, not really needed and need to come out.
it looks like he left all of the stock wiring in place, but just cut the connectors off and taped it up. does it sound like he ran all new wiring all the way around the car?
if i were to just connect the stock speaker wires, would i get sound based off the wires from the harness in the back of the deck?
im so confused, but i want this thing the heck of out my car. if anyone needs pictures to confirm assumptions on what things are, please, LET ME KNOW!
