real simple question (head unit wiring)

[chibahawk 10+ year member]

sup... im pretty much more towards the experienced side of things but gotta quickie

im wiring a new head unit - all speakers are running off amps (comp set & sub). My question is this - do you actually have to wire the head unit wires that are color coded like the White & White/Black for the front speakers or do the RCAs cover that?

Just wondering if you can just connect the power wires and thats it

x2

just split the signal and run to your amps and then to your speakers

makes things alot easier........

tru... my pioneer has the regular 3 RCA deal one for the sub

but then its like One for Rear/Highs....Front/Mids

seein as my comps are doing both it looks as though it would make a difference which RCAs I choose but it doesnt right? Im just gonna hook em up to the Front ones

My alpine only has 3 speaker type wires coming from it:

power

ground

accessory

It dosen't matter which you use, only how the crossovers on the head unit work.
