I had an idea today..

[Gearstix 10+ year member]

Would it be possible, for me to use RCAs to connect my headunit to the wiring harness? Then say if I wanted to run the deck outside the car (at a comp or something)I could make up an extension to go between the headunit and the wiring harness, and run it out of the door or whatever...?

Then if I wanna just use it normally, keep the extension in the glove box or whatever?

I know its an extra connection and stuff..

yeah...NOT think about your idea anymore lol. you'd be better off just getting a bunch of 14ga or so wire and another harness that goes into the back of your deck and tapping into the harness in your dash, or if you have rear batteries just tying into those when youre running through the lanes and dont need to use your speakers, just subs.

if you wanted. you could use the rca CONNECTORS, just not the actual cables to conduct power/ground and speaker signals..

Yes but putting it outside the vehicle would eliminate it skipping?

Buy another cheap deck, add some switches and an LC1 and your good to go for controlling your stereo outside the vehicle.
