With different radios, there will sometimes be an issue of separete grounds for speakers, etc. I guess the main thing to focus on here is that with the use of the harness adapter you can avoid cutting into the factory harness and make all of your main connections from the harness adapter. Most pro audio guys will start from scratch in the first place and will not use any of the factory wires to begin with. When I talked to Eric W. about this, he told me how he does his radios and I would have to say that if you want something better than average you would use his methods of running all new wires, new speaker positions with boxes and etc..... So for a quick fix for an average CD head unit, and in most cases the harness adapter will work. I split the grounds for my speakers and so far there is no issue. - Videobob >From: "Henry" <henry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: Re: [DML] Re: Re: Grounding Each Speaker Individually >Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 12:09:44 -0500 > > >I've posted this before.. here is a clear diagram and chart of the pin-outs >for both the Craig and ASI radio harnesses. > >http://www.eskin.net/radioharness.html > >The commons are left/right, not front/rear, and in my case, with a new >Alpine head unit, I had to tap into the individual speaker leads behind the >radio (in the harness itself) in order to hook up all four grounds >directly.
