And Alpine makes the best car head units - period.

Thank you
I just found this out this morning.

However, I don't think my problem involves either of the aformentioned issues.

The harness I received only has "regular" line out for the front speakers.

My radio, near as I can tell, does NOT use line-level outs to the amp, at least according to the pin-out on the yellow plug...only ONE wire coming out, and that is the "amp turn on" wire.

It appears as though the car uses all "regular" level outs from the radio...so I have to cut the fugging connector and splice 8 wires...which is ok, as Im pretty good with a soldering iron.
