Quick Q- new HU 12V power cable

[WiNnErPL 10+ year member]

I'm pretty sure it's been asked before, but I can't seem to find it exacty. I got a wiring harness for my civic. In the pioneer 8600mp though, the poer cable is a bit thicker than the one in the harness (and probably in Honda now). Do I need to run a new wire all the way or can I use the existing ones in the Honda and in the harness.

Also, on the ground, the pioneer ground cable has it's own ring terminal to ground it. Can I cut off the ring terminal and use the current one or is that too much?

You can use all existing wires in the Honda harness. You will have no problems what so ever.

nice thanks. It's still OK even if I use the internal amp in the HU?

yes, it only puts out 50x4, if it were like 60x4 then upgrading wire would be benefitial.
