Hi Bob, Could you please give us an idea of your electronic/electrical engineering experience? The reason I ask is that at the moment I would be concerned about your products damaging the electrical systems of DeLoreans. I'm sure you can appreciate my concerns with anyone buying your rear speaker/flux capacitor item, when you do not seem to know how to wire a radio correctly, or how it even operates. Please take this as a concern of mine for the DeLorean cars we love and enjoy, and not an attack against you personally. Best wishes, John Dore, Ireland. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Video Bob" <videobob@xxxx> wrote: > ...you may be correct on the left/right front /rear ground thing. > To be honest I didn't pay it much attention because it doesn't really > matter. > All grounds lead to the same place in the car anyway. > As long as you have the polarity right on the speakers you will be fine. > The car does not ground like others, to the frame, it grounds to it's own > wire harness. > This is where the radio grounds too, in the case of the stereo it would be > on the > right side of the back of the console. > > Long and the short of it, if you hook up the radio to the harness the way I > decribe > in my instructions then there will be no problem. > - VB > > > >From: "Jan van de Wouw" <delorean@xxxx> > >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >Subject: [DML] Re: Re: Grounding Each Speaker Individually (was: sound > >systemupgrading) > >Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 14:58:53 -0000 > > > >--- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Video Bob" <videobob@xxxx> > >wrote: > > > The harness has 9 wires, I will break them down for you. > > > 1.
