Im gonna be installing my headunit today. When i had my system connected to the stock radio I used a high-level converter for the RCAs. The headunit I have now has sub RCA outs, so I wont be needing the converter, but it will still be spliced into my rear leads. Retarded circuit city cut the brown ground wire pretty short, and I heard that if you dont have RCAs connected to the converter, that it needs to be grounded? Is this true?

Thanks.

 

best thing to do would be to remove the converter completely and butt-connect or solder the speaker leads back together.....

This is precisely the reason I don't allow best buy or circut city to touch my car.......

 

yeah, the second installer i had look at it, asked me three times who installed me previous unit, because apparently the guy broke 2 or three rules or guidelines for roadshop installs. Never going back, ah well I guess thats another 30 minutes out the window today.

Thanks.

 

Hmmm, say i didnt want to do that LOL. can I just ground it and be ok? or will it work ungrounded since the speaker leads basically pass through it

 

I don't have much experience with bottom of the line converters cause they sound like crap..... I would say that you would be ok to not ground it at all.....why don't you want to remove it though????

 

I dont want to screw the factory wiring up anymore than circuit city already did. Can ya blame me?

 

go get a PAC line out converter if you need to use one

 

i had to install a high-level converter for the RCA for my amp i solder all the wires and used shrink tubing i did a really nice job i completly removed the brown wire from the converter - u should just cut the converter off its just 4 wires

 

I highly doubt you could screw it up more than circut city, I'd highly highly highly recommend removing the converter.....take your time and use some logic and you'll be fine.....

 

Sounds good, Ill do that then, thanks much.
