Buying some parts
#1
Hey guys, I decided on a few parts for my car (Accent), but I'm not really sure on a few things.
First, I'm 99% sure the deck I'm going to get is the Pioneer DEH-P7500MP. But what does it mean when it was 3 pair pre-outs? Does this mean I can control the volume of the 2 fronts, 2 rears and the sub separately?
Also, since my back speaker (factory) is blown, I was going to replace the two backs and save the fronts for later. Or should I replace the two fronts and disconnect the backs, just leaving the sub in my trunk?
And finally I'm going to get a mono channel amp for the sub.
Oh, and what kind of wiring should I be looking at?
Any comments or suggestions? I'm still a little lost...
Thanks,
Gary

Generally with decks that have 3 RCA pre-outs, one would be for Front, one for Rear, and one for Sub. The F and R are mainly designated for fading purposes. The Sub-out usually is non-fading and has crossover settings depending on the deck. Through the fader controls I guess it's a way of controlling the F and R volume, although it's not 100% independant.
For the speakers, chuck the back ones for now and upgrade the front ones. Worry about rear fill later, your music should sound in front of you, not behind. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Wiring is wiring, but if you want a good deal, get Knukonceptz stuff. Quality stuff for your dollar, and it's available on-line rather than stores.
Hope this helps.
