No, it needs to be done at the head unit end so that the whole RCA is ground again.

If you do it at the head unit end, you just need to do 1 RCA.

Doing that, you're basically bypassing the fuse and creating a new link. Both RCA sockets share the same fuse.

Good to hear. As a general rule with Pioneer head-units dont unplug / plug RCAs when the head-unit is on. Ofcourse always have an earth for the amp/s before turning the head-unit on.

[edit]
If I can't say anything nice, I shouldn't say anything at all.

Get your head unit fixed.
