What did you do with *your* harness kit
in relation to speaker grounds?
Most modern stereos (the MEX-HD1 included) use 
a so called "floating ground" for the speakers.
Because of this, every speaker MUST be connected separately.
The DeLorean wiring uses common grounds 
for left and right channels.

Connecting your MEX-HD1 onto the original wiring 
might well run you the risk of blowing the internal 
amps on your $1000,- piece of hardware!!!
Even with no speakers connected 
on the rear leads (at the moment)...
