Nooo wait he needs them mate.

You pull the headunit out and it should say Right Front + Right Front - Left Front + Left Front - on some of the wires on the ISO adaptor. Make a note of which colour wire is which.

You then need some terminal connectors or any other type of electrical connector. Cut the relevant ISO wires, strip and screw the ONES COMING FROM THE LOOM NOT THE HEADUNIT into the terminal connectors (double fold them to ensure a good connection)

Get lots of speaker cable and connect it all up to the amp in Front Right + etc etc on the amp then run it down the opposite side to the amp's power cable. I suggest marking the cable in some way so you know which is wich (e.g. i used different coloured electrical tape)

Then when you have fed all the wires down the front and behind the headunit, connect them up with the correct ISO speaker wire.

And thats it ensure you have RCA and Phono leads connected up, as well as power and a good earth and should be good to go.


EDIT: JUST REALISED HE DOESNT NEED ALL OF THIS LOL. MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Yeah you dont need the wires coming from HU.
