Sorry for the urgent post but I got my car apart and found out that I am stuck.

I am attempting to convert my amp to a four channel amp following the instructions below that are set forth in another thread on this forum. Following these instructions and got to the point where I have located the amp as well as the four sets of intertwined wires that I am supposed to clip and solder the female rca jacks on. But there lies my confusion

there are a yellow and yellow/brown wires intertwined (2 sets) and a blue and blue/brown set (2 sets). In all this leaves a total of 8 wires. Am I supposed to place a female rca on all 8 wires, or, am I supposed to twist the wires together of each pair of wires that are intertwined together and placing a single female head on the two intertwined wires (meaning you would be only using a total of 4 female RCAs.)

I hope my question makes sense. I do not want to make a big blunder.

Go into the passenger footwell, flip the carpet back, remove the styrofoam (just lifts out), unbolt the metal plate on the floor (this has the factory amp bolted to it..) and then solder on RCA ends to the speaker input wires...


If you go with option1, the new stereo will sound pretty much like the old one... marginally better, and no sub control...

Once you have the amp vilisible, you will see the harnesses that go to it...

Locate the one with "twisted pairs" of wires with the following colours:

Blue and Blue/Brown stripe
Yellow and Yellow/Violet stripe

There will be two pairs of each of these...

Next, unwrap the tape and follow the wires down the harness a little bit... On my car the wires were joined about 6 inches from the amp plug.

When you find this splice point, this is where you can cut the wires, and where you will attach your RCA ends...

If you are good with solder, Purchase some quality (4 total) RCA Female ends at your local stereo shop to solder on here, and buy two RCA cables to run from here to the back of your new deck (6 foot should be long enough, but 10 never hurts) ....

Now that you have located and cut these wire pairs, you will begin with soldering...

Each Blue and Blue/Brown stripe pair and each Yellow and Yellow/Violet stripe pair represents one speaker. Which speaker or subwoofer, ??? you will figure that out after you solder on your RCA's, so don't worry about that...

Yellow is positive (the center pin on the RCA) and Yellow/Violet is negative (outer ring on RCA)

Blue is positive (the center pin on the RCA) and Blue/Brown is negative (outer ring on RCA)

Once you have all of these hooked up, tape up the unused / cut wires on the "deck side" , and plug your new deck in.
