Default Parrot FOR 11CK soldered to Female RCA's: Super sweet!

This is for my forscan low level conversion of high speaker level outputs into RCA low level signals. Rather than slice up my expensive RCA cables, I ordered some cheap female RCA connectors and soldered them onto the outputs of the Parrot FOR 11CK harness. The soldering is a little hard to do, just solder the negative on first, then the positive, and make sure there is no solder/wire shorting the center post to the outer piece.

Negative wire goes to the outside, positive to the center.


All done up, nice and sweet.

Very nice! I bought the RF female connectors that already had the leads soldered on. My soldering isn’t that good lol.

What is that blue wire on the other side, remote turn on? I thought our trucks did not have that?

It is the input to one of the stock speaker wires... not a remote turn on.

This looks like the route I'm going to take. I will be using a small Kenwood M1824BT amp that I used in my previous truck. I think I will solder male RCA plugs so it plugs directly into the amp and then I can run an RCA from the output to feed a signal to my sub's Rockford Fosgate AMP that I will install behind the back seats. I also kept my dual 10" down-fire box which fit beneath the rear seat of my SCAB.

Regarding the yellow fused wire in the Parrot harness, can I use that to power my Kenwood amp or should I run the amp's yellow power wire directly all the way to the battery and fuse it there instead. The plan is to put the small amp under the dash nearby the stereo somewhere. I would still need a remote turn on for my amp in the back. The Kenwood has signal sense on the input RCAs. Thanks! Now to order that Parrot harness and get started.

Fused to the battery. That little yellow does not provide enough current.
