I have purchased the Metra Wiring Harness that the car audio store said I needed..

But I just wanna make sure I'm doing everything right like wires and stuff..

I'm not the best with this stuff!!

Is anyone willing to help me??

I have the Mach 460 BTW..

And I've already purchased subs and all that..

And... My dad is getting mad because I don't have it installed yet..

Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

Thanks,



Josh..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you should have only one plug going into your factory sterio. (Besides antenna connector.) The 1771 (according to the pic on metra's site) only has speaker leads on it, no power ground etc. Don't think thats gonna work.
