well my red wire from my harness isn't hot, orange is hot, which that didn't make sense to me and my father.

my harness that came with my HU is missing an orange wire then.., because there is none. so i'm not sure. but i will try just using the stock head unit for awhile atleast.

yeah i checked that out, but what i couldn't figure out was why to put the orange red together, because the orange controls the lights so if i hook all that up to it, won't it put a bad strain on my lighting fuse?

yeah i attempted to hook up a new HU, but it was a bit confusing with the wiring.

so we use speaker wires instead of audio cables?

what would be some of those amps with high/speaker level inputs?

and thank you haha

so i wouldn't even need an equalizer? i could just run my power shut off out of my fuse and the subs will work with the stock head unit ?

hey, i'm new to this forum, and i was wondering if there was a way to run subs and an amp with my stock stereo head unit using like a equalizer or something to that affect.

i have a 2001 bonneville, without bose/onstar

help would be so greatly appreciated. thanks
