OT - Car Stereo Wiring Mystery

[Snarl 12/8]

I really should post a pic of the underside of the dashboard. It makes that spagetti that's behind some people's mixers look like good cable management. I mean at least with that stuff you can usually see both ends of the cable.

The way I suggested hooking it up above would bypass all of your cars wiring and is the shortcut to finding out what's working and what's not as far as your audio is concerned.

I intend on following your advice. Just gotta get some time and a distribution block.
