Just started wiring
So i thought i would start a quick thread on my new ICE install.
The previous owner slightly butchered the wiring loom although nothing compared to some i have seen!
Looks like the speaker wires have been cut and turned into RCA plugs.
These are then plugged into the rear of the head unit and the blue and white (rem wire?) is also connected in among that lot somewhere. I guess that is to power the factory amps?

I took out the factory 'subs' and they were pretty much shot!

So trying to start a fresh.
I am going to disconnect the RCA's and rem wire (if thats what it is) and hopefully that will stop the factory speakers working.
Then fresh RCA's to the rear and rem wire to Kenwood amp. I will be running my Vibe Black death speakers off that.

Which is used to do the job properly rather than chop wires
