[Simonn]

ok do not worrie about the dimmer wire I just installed it without it and everything works, Just about the earth im gone with the twin setup one into harness and other to metal part. Just wondering if I can earth it directly onto the headunit itself?
thanks

yea u can ground it to the stereo no probs, when its mounted to the chasis, its grounded that way also. the extra earths will be fine.

ok cool thanks heaps mate. What do you mean when its mounted to the chassis? youv lost me. sorry im abit slow with electrcial stuff.

u have to mount/screw the stereo to the brackets, the brackets screw to the metal part of the console, that metal is connected to the cars chasis.. hence gounded

finshed installing the headunit turned out pretty good. Only slight problem iv got is my left rear speaker isnot working at all. Im positive my connection to the headunit were right and my speakers are all balenced from the headunit. Is there anyway to check if there is currant flowing through by using a multimeter?

found the problem, one of the pins in the harness at the headunit poped out, though it was a speaker so got new back speakers only $50 pionner ones. With the speaker negative/postive is it really critical as to which one goes where?

Yes, you need to get the pos / neg at the head-unit going to the pos / neg at the speaker, otherwise the speaker will be out of phase, and basically cancel out its own bass.
