New member Username: AthousPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-10 | I purchased a pioneer fb700t second hand and am going to install it on my xterra, thing is I dont have an amp for the door speakers (only the sub) The headunit has RCA type connectors and the speakers are traditional speaker wire. Pioneers website claims this thing has 40watts x 4 channels, so Im assuming it has an internal amp to power the door speakers. Would I just need to convert the speaker wire to a RCA connector via something like this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062472&numProdsPerPage=60 &retainProdsInSession=1 or do I need to do something else? Thanks for an feedback =) |

New member Username: AthousPost Number: 2 Registered: Sep-10 | all the pioneer head unit has is the RCA jacks, basically I want to utilize the head unit amp to power my door speakers, the speakers are merely connected via speaker wire. I want to know if the head unit will power the speakers if I use the RCA jack adapters that I listed above. |

Try looking on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pioneer-AVIC-F700BT-AVIC-F7010BT-NEW-POWER-HARNESS-/300450041430 |

New member Username: AthousPost Number: 3 Registered: Sep-10 | sorry wandaddy I do have the power connection harnass as well as the GPS harnass & microphone. I have all of what the instructions say is included in the box if it were new. According to there website it says Built in speaker power - MOSFET 50w x 4 the headunit only comes with RCA plugs, so how does one take advantage of the onboard amp? |

There should be wires for positive/negative front right, front left, rear right, and rear left. If you have never installed a head unit before, try looking on Youtube for a good instructional video. |
