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? :angry2:


Your help is greatly appreciated guys!
Thanks

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

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! :D

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

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...

holy crap!! :whoop:
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?

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?

Post subject:  Re: Subs and amp in GTC
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.
