Clark Kent Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I just installed a Pioneer F700 in my stang replacing my shaker 500> i just have a question in regards to the rca's. Well I know the harness has a red and white rca lead..the white for the front subs and the red for the shaker 1000 trunk subs. Well I have seen how some guys use a Y adapter to hook the singke white rca to the dual lead, but what i did was just hooked up red to red and white to white..I know the red is not doing ne thing for me, but I was wondering if it was actually hurting my sytem in terms of performance and if hooking up a Y cable would be improving performance. Sorry if this is a little confusing, but some help would be great. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So one set should be something like red front right white front left they should be paired. It isnt one color is just for fronts the other for backs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clark Kent Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 well everyone on my mustang forum who has replaced there shaker 500s with aftermarket hu have all used y adapters, and in the case of our cars it is in fact one for the rear sub and one for the two smaller subs in the front doors. I have it hooked up normally right now and seems to be working ut i am wondering if i am hindering the performance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
