troll, why?

bang, its a radioshack model, yes? i think i remember mine had that, i dont remember connecting it to anything. it works just fine, right? i dont think it needs to be hooked to anyhing. you can doublecheck the manual tho. might need to be grounded, but tatsh just based on wire color.....

cuz the equalizer makes the sound THAT much better.....

and costs less than or equal to a decent HU

audiocontrol EQL is what, $300? i can get a nakamichi for that price.

and no equilizer will make your sound better when its a dirty signal to begin with. in fact, the probnablity is that the equilizer will add noise. but surely it wont "clean" the signal for you, oh no.

an equilizer will only let you flatten out the response curve, by letting you adjust the gains on specific frequency pass bands. the more bands, the narrower the frequency passband and the more control you have over your response. kinda like resolution, you could say.

but if you play a staticky burned-from-mp3's cd, or your stock deck cant play cds very well, no equilizer will solve that.

and they even are more expensive than a decent cd-player (seeing as the cd player itself from say, the pioneer 1300 is the same as the 9300, jsut different features)

to answer your question, the rca adapter probably has 5 or 6 wires coming out of it, right? there are probably 2 white wires, 2 blue wires, and 1 or 2 black or brown wires. the white wires go to the 2 factory wires going to your left speaker, the blue go to the 2 wires going to your right speaker, and the remaining wire(s) go to ground.(this wire doesnt have to be hooked up) the wires with a black stripe are to go to your negative speaker leads so-

-------------------------------------factory wires-------------adapter wires
Drivers Rear Speaker----------(+) BLUE/WHITE----------white
Drivers Rear Speaker----------(-) BLUE/BLACK------------white/black
Passengers Rear Speaker----(+) PINK---------------------blue
Passengers Rear Speaker-----(-) BLUE/YELLOW---------blue/black
