HOW-TO: SC300/SC400 Install Aftermarket Head Unit, OEM Speakers and Sub Working!

oh bro - it was TOTALLY worth it! You're helping out countless other's who might never actually come in here and comment as well. It's an extremely valuable resource for SC owners

NO! NO! NO!!!! You're doing it ALL WRONG!??! D1 plug is for your blinker fluid and D15 is for your muffler bearings! With this kind of re-wiring, you can easily burn out your horn motor.

Thank you for doing this great write up. That was one reason why I kept my stock head unit for so long....
I do have few dumb questions for Killa-Hz. (please don't laugh at me.)
Eclipse plug? I am assuming mitsubishi Eclipse, but what year?
I kept looking at the picture and kept reading your post. I just can't figure out if I were to purchase a plug/s for a mit eclipse, will I get 2 females or 1 male and 1 female? The plugs look like they will fit the "D" plug from our SC, but what about the "A" plug?
Sorry for asking stupid question.

Got mine partially wired up but Still no Sub.
I don't understand this:
Only 1 single Cable (RCA to speaker wire) connecting from the Factory wiring (blk & white wire) to the Sub Out??Shouldn't there be 2 like normal?
I don't get it.

"Fifth, the nakamichi amp 5 channel amp(1st and 2nd NOT 3rd gen models) is basically the 2 pioneer amps rolled up into one. In fact it even uses the same 3 plugs as the pioneer system. The only difference being some of the subwoofer plug pins are missing; more importantly the subwoofer inputs are missing. What this means is the amp calculates the outputs to the woofer based off the 4 speaker inputs. This IS TESTED and CONFIRMED."

I figured it was pretty much hopeless since the amp is supposed to calculate the subwoofer output based using the 4 speaker inputs. I ended up just using an aftermarket amp and subwoofer... which actually sounds great but I was a little frustrated that I couldn't get the stock Nakamichi working.

You were able to get the Nakamichi working on FM? I thought I tried pretty much everything I could think of and couldn't get it working even on FM. I found a post stating that:

Am I blind or does my unit not have a dimmer wire?

Well I did this today and got everything working except my antenna wont go up, I can tell its working because when I pull the wires apart I lose reception but when they are crimped no power to raise the antenna, any thoughts?

Okay got everything installed, thanks for the writeup. My antenna goes down when I turn the car off but not switch from radio to aux, cd etc but thats no biggy. I still need to pull out the metra kit and make some room in the back because the left side of my dash molding is sticking out about 2 cm's for some reason.
