[QUOTE="envengineer, post: 2773394, member: 571710"] I have a few thoughts: First, why the hell are you splicing all of this shit into the factory harness. Just run new fused wires directly to the battery (for +12v and ground) and only use the switched power from the factory harness to turn the head units on and off. Less noise, cleaner wiring. Second, who the **** cares about pre-out voltage. If you have Zapco amps I wouldn't expect them to be introducing any additional noise by having the gain turned up. Third, why the hell do you need all of this? Alpine IVA-W200 + PXA-H701 would do all of this, look cleaner, probably sound better, and less would be left up to you to screw up trying to rig all this crap together. Finally, what is your definition of "sq". You keep referring to it, but it is always in the context of "will i lose sq?", "what has the best sq?", etc. What do you mean by all of this? Sound quality is pretty subjective and if you are asking "will I degrade the accurate reproduction of the recorded material in any way?", don't even bother worrying about it because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway.
