[QUOTE="Al3xander, post: 8461597, member: 668431"] Okay, so thanks again, dude- I appreciate all your help, fo' real. I appreciate everyone's help; it's just that djr4x4 provided me with a solution and the know-how to make it actually work! Okay, so I've attached pictures to this message in hopes that if anyone else encounters a similar problem, a google search might bring them here and this thread will help them. Okay, so anyway, like DJR4x4 said, the Speaker Input Wires and the other wires could be rejoined. It wasn't easy. That same manual he posted in this thread is the same one that I found and tried.
