Default amp integration harness ?'s

hey all
im ready to install my aftermarket head unit, and i pull out the harness to look at it it is a plug that looks like it plugs into one of the plugs in the back of my OEM radio, and off of that theres afew loose wires (id imagine for ACC power Ground and antenna or whatever) and then theres 4 RCA plugs, can someone explain to me how im to hook this up and how it works with the stock amp?

thanks all

mike

the adapter is supposed to plug into the FRONT< REAR< AND SUB OUTPUT of the Aftermarket radio(that is if you bought one with preamps. That is the RCA side of things. You will also still need to hook up the non speaker locations to the radio. Other end should integrate with the stock wire harnesses.

Use 1 set of splitters for the stock speakers to work. Unfortunately you are gonna have to use two sets of splitters if you want a subwoofer. Try to get a better radio so the stock 2v signal isnt drained to death from all the splitters.
