    Wiring help needed.

    I have got everything but these few wires left to wire. I am wiring up the wire harness or plugs for my head unit. These are the wires that I have left, and I am not completely sure on how to hook them up.


    These are on the Head unit side.

    Black- Chassis Ground
    Dark Blue- AMP REM Maxo 3A
    Red- Unmarked
    Orange with white- Unmarked
    Yellow- Unmarked
    Light blue.- ATT



    Car side wires


    Red- 12volt ingnition/switched
    Orange- Illumination Dash light
    Black- Chassis Ground
    Yellow- 12 volt battey/ constint
    Orange with white- dimmer


    Now I believe that the Red goes with Red, and Yellow w/ Yellow.
    Do the two grounds Y together and screw into the Chassis or go seperate?
    Also, what two orange wires go together? (the ones with white?)

    Oh, yes. And I have an amp I can put in later. I believe the ATT wire switches the amp when it is wired to it. Also, what does the Amp REM MAXO 3A do?
    The Amp I have is a Sony Xplod 500W 4/3 channel. It has front L and R, and Rear L and R. I had been using it to run 2 ten inch 500w max subs. Is this ok, so I just use it for my mids, and possibliy tweeters? Let me know what you guys think.

      ??? nothing yet? Oh well. I fiured out all the wires except how to run the two ground wires, and Orange and white dimmer wire. My headunit manual says their orange and white are illumination wire. It also says that the ATT is for a phone interface with you car, and the Amp wire goes to the Amp (obviously) for more power. But I dont know were it goes to the amp. I believe I will wire the wire that starts and stops the amp to the ingition wire.

        Ok. I guess we are done here, no one posted, but thats ok. I learned how. Called the people who made the wire connector and the guy almost seemed annoyed by the question. Got it in now, the black grounds were " Y "ed together and attached it to the chassis.


        Now for another problem. what do I do about the way these are in there? I think I will do a Rhino 3d model and CNC something out at school.

                  I noticed a little power draw form my car tonight. Not much at all, but I am wondering what it will be like after I put the amp and subs in. Not sure if I should even be using that amp for the subs. The two subwoffers are 500W max and the amp is a 4/3 channel 500w. I used it in my old car, but I am 98% sure its just for running reqular speakers. Should I get a different one for the subs? I think I should get a capacitor to assist the amp. An expensive alternator upgrade isn't really an option right now.

                    Get another amp for sure.

                    forget a cap, just get a new alternator brush set, and the big three upgrade
                    wat?

                          Ok so upgrade the wiring to 4ga? I looked at the thread that was originally in, but didn't really understand. Sorry im a noob.

                              Glad you got everything figured out....car audio is pretty easy dude so consider it a learning experience

                              If you want to keep the 6x9's, crutchfield sells some adapter rings to allow you to go from 6.5" hole to a 6x9 speaker...

                              But I agree...6.5s > 6x9's

                              Your car looks pretty good though!
