I want to wire my head unit WITHOUT USING ANY EXISTING vehicle wiring. No original wiring harness. Where do I run the h/u power wire? Do I run it to a certain fuse block or directly to the battery? What about the Acc's wire. Which fuse block. I'm installing into a 2010 Dodge Dakota. Thanks in...

I've installed a new head unit without using a harness adaptor. Where should I run the new H/U's power wire and acc wires? Battery, fuse box ???? I grounded to the side wall under the dash and ran the remote to the two amps in the back. The first time around I used the original wire harness...

Thanx everyone I'll check all those areas. This forum has been a real asset!

Several of them say ignition......-ignition off draw/cabin/radio -run start ignition switch - audio...

Do u mean, run it to the battery just to TEST it? If so, does the size of the wire matter?........And yes it is a new head unit, but I got it off ebay, so u never know?

I used the power, ground and acc's from the vehicles original harness. I cut them and connected to the new head unit.??

I'm installing an all new Soundstream system. Soundstream VIR-3200 HU, with a 4 ch amp for the 4 doors and a mono amp for the sub. The head unit has two sets of rca outputs for the front and rear speakers and a separate output for the sub on the rear of the unit...... My question is....do I use...
