Need some help guys, I got the Avic-Z140BH as the appropriate suggested wiring harness,
XM tuner, backup camera, and dash kit. So I am trying to solder up the
wiring harness from the new unit to the wiring harness adapter and found
that in the manual it states you connect the right rear speaker wires
to the sub and don't connect the left rear speaker wires.... So this
means my rear speakers won't be hooked up...and instead my sub will.
How do I hook up my factory amp/sub and keep my factory speakers also? I am installing in a 2003 Mercury Marauder which has a factory sub/amp in the trunk. So my total setup is 2 front door speakers, 2 rear deck speakers, a rear deck sub, and a rear deck amp. (sub and amp are all packed together).
The manual states "When a subwoofer is connected to this navigation
system instead of a rear speaker, change the rear output setting in the
initial setting. (Refer to the Operation Manual.) The subwoofer output
of this navigation system is monaural." Then a little below that, "When
using a subwoofer of 70W, be sure to connect with violet and
violet/black leads of this navigation system. Do not connect anything
with green and green/black leads."
The speaker colors are as follows:
Left Front - White & White/Black
Left Rear - Green & Green/Black
Right Front - Gray & Gray/Black
Right Rear - Violet & Violet/Black
Then if connecting sub Green & Green/Black not used. Violet &
Violet/Black connect to sub only. Therefore no rear speakers... Help?
