This is my first car stereo install, I got some stuff down but I need some help on a few things. Im putting in a Pioneer DEH-6900UB, its got front and rear pre outs that are 4 volts/100ohms. I found out about the Metra 70-7551 adpater after I bought a maxima harness so Im just going to make my own, but how do I connect rca cables to the harness? This is the wireing diagram I am using, each speaker has two wires a - and a +, when connecting them to RCA cables, what connects to what, how do I group them together?


Now, looking at that diagram above, Im left with a few more wires;

5 - antenna signal: goes to the blue/white controll wire form my HU

6 - Bat back up +: goes to the yellow constant 12v wire on my HU?

7 & 8 - illumination and light switch:
do I not connect these to anything? My HU harness has a orange/white lighting switch wire, but installdr says that these two wires are not used. So do I connect my orange/white lighting switch wire to #8 or do I not use it and the HU's lights power on by itself?

9 - ground: obvious

10 - accessories, installdr calls this the 12v ignition wire, whats the difference between the 12v ignition wire and the 12v battery wire?

11 - another ground, obvious

12 - amp on signal: this one I dont get

Here is a link to the installdr wireing diagram Im also using; http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf

I dont know what to do with the amp on signal, I dont know the difference between 12v ignition and 12v battery and I dont understand what I do about the lighting wires. Could someone look over this and tell me what I got right and whats wrong?

 

dude...you should just call me. or something. I live close by. Duh.

 

Maybe he knows you dont have time for the phone?

 

DAMN.

I just got home and people are still busting my *****.

I didn't wear my protective cup today.

I better order some good sh*t or i'm not gonna hear the end of it.

 

Welcome to the audio section, where no ***** go unbusted !

 

hey now

 

Just suck it up and get the metra 70-7551.

 

heh, ok well even if I do end up just buying a metra harness, Im still left with those few wires listed above that I dont know what to do with. Anyone want to help me out with those?

 

When you get the metra will have all the corresponding wires, just connect them together with but connectors. The yellow goes to yellow 12v constant the remote turn on has to be connected in order for your bose amps to come on, you may have to connect the amp turn on and the antenna to the blue wire from the pio if it doesn't have a seperate antenna.

Ignition vs battery - the ignition only comes on when the key is in and set to acc or higher. This is how the radio stays off when the key is out.
