Here's a PAC question I didn't see in the Archives... how to hook up... So, to do a little research prior to me rooting around under my brand new car's panels/dash (yet I'll gladly redo the whole suspension <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> ), I thought I'd ask a few questions first.
1) Does anyone know if the rear speakers use a common ground wire for both speakers, or one positive and one negative for each speaker?
2) I guess this should be #1, but oh well... where is the best place to install this SNI-15 thing???
3) In the crude directions, it says, "Connect the brown wires to ground only if there is no sound from the amplifier." I'd like to get an idea of weather or not this is an issue 50% of the time (amp related?) or if this always/never happens.
For the record, this is the PAC SNI-15 Line Output Converter 10-20 Watts which will plug in to my Lanzar Vibe 600W amp and 1x MTX sub... Thanks!

Re: Here's a PAC question I didn't see in the Archives... how to hook up... OK, so I've learned that the answer to #1 is that each speaker does have its own ground... and that #2, the best place to install is close to the radio. As well, #3 that I won't have to ground those 2 brown wires.
Now, one last question: #4 What color are the wires I need to tap from the radio? I'm betting that they are not white/white-black stripe and grey/grey-black stripe like they are on my PAC...
