Subs and amp in GTC

[BarryleeGTC]

Morning guys

Just joined recently cause i just got a GTC, and loving it.
Will post pics as soon as the weather clears to take some.

Want to install my sub and amp i had in my old car into the original head unit of my new baby.
The previous owner had a DVD HU installed so the wiring is already layed with power from the battery, except the RCA cables from the head unit is laying loose behind it.

Question: Does the orginal HU have RCA out and how do I take the HU out?
Where would the fuse be cause i can't a damn find it?


Your help is greatly appreciated guys!
Thanks

Doubt that the orginal Head Unit has RCA outputs...

[BarryleeGTC]

okay.....so what would i need to do this?

besides a different HU?

[Corsa Addict]

I assume there is already a trimplate for the Head Unit you want to install?

[Toy]

if u want decent sound i'd suggest u go for a better HU

[Corsa Addict]

if u want decent sound i'd suggest u go for a better HU

He is going for a different Head Unit bru

[Toy]

oh snap
read wrong

[BarryleeGTC]

I actually don't wanna change the HU....trying to keep the interior and std as possible.
I no changing it would result in better sound but i'm not entering any competitions.....yet!

So rumour has it that i just need to get a converter or somein like that for the RCA cables?

[Corsa Addict]

Yip, if you keeping standard Head Unit, then you would need RCA Convertors (not 100% sure of the name)

I think I have those small boxes (red) lying at home...

[Mr Lupini]

yes y ou get a convertor - its like 100 bux . . . .

[Toy]

^^ ja but will it give the same sound as RCA's will?

[Corsa Addict]

yip - same sound bru

I had them in my UTE running on factory head unit

[Toy]

i see

[Mr Lupini]

snoek - u must come hear what the corsa sound like . . . . the factory HU is actually quite good

[Corsa Addict]

I got 129Db from factory deck

[BarryleeGTC]

holy crap!!
Awesomeness....

another question: i can't a damn find the fuse?
is it possible they didn't use one...or is there a usual hiding place sound installation would put it.

Corsa Addict: where'd they put the fuse in the UTE?

[Corsa Addict]

eish - I dunno bru

The only fuse I know of is the one that's by my battery in a casing...you talking about that one?

[BarryleeGTC]

yep. That's the one that's normally there...but i can't seem to find it by my battery yet there is current flowing through to the cables at the back.
So i wondering if they fitted a fuse at all.

[Corsa Addict]

nah - i think they must be a fuse..
