Into stock headunit

[Thedeadly1 10+ year member]

I did all the wiring from battery, chassis ground, and now i have to figure out how to do the REM and Rcas.. His car is a 2004 mustang and he is putting a zx 750.1 amp and dual AQ 10" woofers. He is keeping the stock headunit. In the back, it seems like from the Right rear speaker there is already a LOC from the previous owner, but i cant find one for the left side speaker. Do you only need one? it has RCA's coming out of it.. Should i be set? If so, what do i do about the REM wire?

the loc should be connected to both right and left rear speakers. for your remote wire, i always ran one from a swtiched 12v source and but a switch inline with it because not everyone wants there system on all the time. just make sure that you tap into a switched 12v source and not a constant because you dont want the amps on when the cars off

I would suggest not using a stock HU. Spend the extra $150 for a good HU, you will not regret it. I have done 2 installs with stock units and both lack the power of aftermarket HU's. Even my girlfriends stock Pioneer HU is nothing compared to my brothers aftermarket Pioneer HU. My friend had me run a system off of his stock ford radio/tape player and the SQ is horrible, pick up a lot of distortion and they have no preout voltage which means your amp will not do want it can. Not to mention stock units do not have any way of fine tuning your system.
