RE: [DML] Re: Grounding Each Speaker Individually (was: sound systemupgrading)

["Montgomery, Ken" <kenm@xxxxxxxx>]

   I think you're all missing a major point here. Why would you use the
stock wiring harness at all for your modern radio? The DeLorean has
what, 22 guage speaker wire? Do you know how much loss that's going to
give you in the mid and bass ranges?

Forget the stock harness and connectors. You'll have the center console
out anyway. Run Monster Cable from your new head unit to your new
speakers. Run a new power wire (with a fuse) right to the battery to
bypass your cutoff switch (if you have one). Run a new ground lead to
the main junction point in the dash, and tap the switched power wire.
Then, if a future owner wants to put the stock stereo back in there'll
be nothing cut or damaged on the harness, and your stereo will sound a
ton better.
