need help with h.u. installation (pics)

[perfecxionX 10+ year member]

The only other h.u. ive installed before isn't really anything like this new one i have in front of me. Its a cheap chinese double din and the manual is the shitiest part so far, so i need some help. Help me out and ill post a review with lots of pictures and videos.

First problem; RCAs

My old alpine had the traditional white and red output plugs for rcas to my amps but now i have these other RCAs labeled front L, front R, rear L, rear R, and subwoofer output. How am i supposed to plug my amps into these? does my component amp for the fronts plug into the 'front L, and front R'? Where does my subwoofer amp's RCAs go when the 'subwoofer output' for the h.u. only has one plug?

this is what im used to fyi

AM I wrong in saying that you buy the wiring harness specifically for your car that goes between the radio harness and the one in your car? Make a trip to Walmart and get one.

well what i mean ( i know i dont have the right terminology here) is that there was one SET of outputs ; the headunit had 2 outputs, but each ouput had two plugs (white and red). this headunit doesnt

the old alpine i had was exactly like the one i pictured

a amp has a R and L input

for example a 4chn amp,

front R and L input

rear R and L input

all the audio wires on your HU are output

Rear R and L

front R and L

you still have a set of outputs, you have 2 sets FRONT and REAR

One set for the REAR 8 and 14

one set for the FRONT 9 and 10

as for the subwoofer output 13 you use a RCA Y-Adapters

this is the h.u.

the only reason i really decided to give it a try (aside from the price) is that its the only detachable double din lcd ive ever seen
