Finished wiring up the amplifier. Had to install a high-to-low converter until a proper headunit with tulp outputs is installed, gotta line up some funds for that first though.
I spliced the rear speaker outputs using terminals from a connector I obtained from the scrap yard, so I can always go back to 100% original. I also did some measuring and it turns out pin 43 is very suitable for use as a 'remote' wire. It gives a positive +12V when the radio is powered on, and after power-off it remains high for about another minute. So I spliced this wire too, and ran it to the amplifier in the back and the equalizer that has been sitting prepared for a few months now in the glovebox.
Next it was time to finally run the tulp wires from the glove box to the amp in the rear:
So that concludes the amplifier wiring. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a few doors done.
