[QUOTE="scottydsntknow, post: 15960987, member: 79824"] Yep I had one that was in my old car as well, the Scoshe one works too. They are called "Lineout Converters". Extremely commonly used in swaps before the RCA outs became commonplace on pretty much all radios. I guess it still is lol. I mean it works... but it is only needed if you are using the grey/green/purple/white wires as your output from the HU. If you use the RCA outs then the HU can "talk" to the Mach amps without needing a gadget like that. And yes there are issues with the Metra prebuilt unit on Crutchfield, why I just built my own. I got a pigtail for the 8 speaker wires that attaches to the Ford harness and then a $5 RCA audio cable from a local store, cut the ends off and soldered it up and rolled. Positive wire for the RCA is the inside wire, negative is the exposed outer wire. Solder the inside one up, shrinktube it, solder the outside one up an inch or so down the line so the insulation is intact on the inner wire and heatshrink that, then move to the next set and heatshrink them all up in the end. Took me 15 minutes and worked perfectly. [/QUOTE]
