    Some radio questions

    So basically exactly what I said. The subs just repeat the same signal to both subs so you're not getting the "left only/right only" effect anyway. But I'm just getting that single sided sound on both subs rather than not at all. Which like I said I can totally see the benefit still. I was...

    It's called sarcasm. It's not like I actually was crucifying them for lying. But regardless it works after using a splitter which they do not mention whatsoever. If they say it's for the Lincoln LS then it would make sense to state that the Lincoln requires a splitter so that people don't...

    Some radio questions

    I was thinking that but asked you guys first since I thought it didn't make sense because how would the amplifier know that the signal being sent to it was originally stereo before its merged into mono and have the ability to split the sound again from left to right if it's a mono amplifier...

    Some radio questions

    Can you guys explain why the subwoofer stereo pre-amps should be converted to mono rather than just using the left channel as the mono output for the subwoofer harness? What I mean is by just plugging the red RCA into the red RCA output on the subwoofer pre-amp shouldn't it provide mono signal...

    Correction from before. The WHITE RCA is for the subwoofer and the red is for the center channel. red/white and red/gray are the pos and neg for subwoofer and they lead into the white RCA. Gray and white are the pos and neg of the center channel and they lead into the red RCA.

    Can you tell me exactly how you setup the RCAs? Did you put the red and white wires on different pre-amps? Like white into the sub pre-amp and red into the front speaker pre-amp? If so, you put red into red and white into white on both? I just want to know what I should do before I attack...

    Some radio questions

    I'm already aware of the resistor and it's supposed to be a 1450 ohm resistor as far as I know. But thanks. I don't see this head unit having mono pre-amps. If there is a left and right channel then I would assume it's stereo. I think someone who knows a lot about head units would need to...

    Some radio questions

    Well in my particular case I installed a Pioneer P3300BT Head unit. So I'm not exactly sure whether the sub/front channel pre-amps are mono or not. They have both a red and white input for each. The top set is for the rear output, the middle set is for front output, and the bottom set is...

    Some radio questions

    Thanks guys. I knew something was up. Just to clarify by LF you mean Left Front? So you'd put one RCA in the Left Subwoofer Pre-amp and the the other in the Left Front Pre-amp? Does it matter if you plug red into red and white into white or vice versa? Also, I've heard that the center...

    Yea someone answered my question in another thread about the RCAs. I figured you had them setup the wrong way which is what I mentioned before. Also, not to be an ass but you really seem to not retain information very well. I already mentioned the kind of resistor you need before and you...

    Some radio questions

    Sorry to bring an old thread to life but I have a question regarding one of the wiring harnesses that Quik LS gave the diagrams to. On the 8-pin connector in audiophile systems, is it possible to integrate the center channel speakers with an aftermarket head unit? I am aware that the...

    By the way I'm just making a guess at something... but are you sure that popping noise isn't because you plugged the RCAs into the wrong pre-amps on your head unit? Read the manual because each set is designated for certain speakers on mine. Usually the top two are pre-amps for the front and...

    Nah the 50x4 is regarding the amp built into the deck. It powers 4 speakers. But the center console speakers and the subwoofers have their own dedicated amplifier so the deck's power rating doesn't come into play. You're simply outputting the audio out of the RCA Jacks and sending it to the...

    Both of those wires are remote wires now that I think about it. One is a remote wire for the amp that powers the subwoofers and the other is the remote wire for the amp that powers the center channel speakers in the center console. But if the popping is only happening with the subwoofers you...

    Doesn't your wiring harness have labels right on the wires itself? Mine does. The remote wire is usually the blue wire that you connected to that Subwoofer Harness you bought. The remote wire is always blue or blue/white depending on the harness. My aftermarket radio came with a label right...

    Hi I'm new here. Just got a 2000 Lincoln LS from my brother and I installed a Pioneer AVH-P3300BT head unit. Thought I'd help out. @Necronommicon - You should really try using the search function. I just joined this forum because of the same thing and I found the answer in a matter of...
