[QUOTE="Trem, post: 8843687, member: 688777"] Sorry to bring up an old thread, but have finally had a chance to test everythung with multimeter, with a new amp ready to go. Checked each speaker at amp connection (ie speed wire), between + and -, and each reads ~4 ohms (front 6x9's are slightly different than rear 6.5). Checked all eight wires against others, and all are 0 ohm. Checked each against ground, 0 ohm. Have wire brushed the factory ground point, and added some solder to crimped ring terminals on power wire, at fuse, for self assurance of solid connection, but otherwise, have changed nothing. Which doesn't make me confident in connecting and powering the new amp (same Pioneer GM-D9705). Can anyone punch holes in wiring logic? 4awg power wire to 100A fuse, few inches from battery, to amp. 4awg ground to OEM grounding point (a bolt behind rear seat, where a couple of other wires are grounded to body, and where youtube videos corroborate). PnP connected between OEM deck and truck, with rear channels T'd off of deck to LC2i, then RCA to amp, then all eight channels from amp to PnP, via speed wire. All eight channels of PnP harness snipped between the two connectors, with truck-side spliced to speed wire for connection to speakers. Power and ground wires T'd from deck via PnP harness to LC2i, with remote wire from LC2i to amp. The PnP harness came prewired to LC2i. Let me know if any photos would help. Really appreciate any feedback on this. [/QUOTE]
