Alright, I have my Clarion DRX9675z receiver. It has 2 4v RCA outputs for the subs and 4 4v RCA outputs for the front and back speakers.
I bought a wiring harness from Scosche, which was model #NN03 I think.
My question is, the wiring harness has bare wires that connect to the front right positive and negative, etc.
How would I connect these bare wires to an RCA plug. Would I have to buy end-RCA connectors?
Thanks

Found out I need a new amp for the front and back speakers and also might need all new speakers. Oh great :(
EDIT:
How would I connect an amp and 2 subs just using the stock receiver (clarion double din) instead of the aftermarket one for now?
Please help!

Ok. There is a few ways you can do this.
1st) if your amp support high level input...then all you need to do is to get the right plug ...get the right speaker wires in the right places...plug it in and way u go....
or...
if your amp does not support high power input.... then just get an "high level to RCA converter"...this will convert your speaker wires into rcas....
but neither of these would sound the best.... The Clarion DRX9675z is one of the ex-competition model i think.... nice unit..if you can try to keep it :)
you will appreciate the 4v preouts...esp after you have had experiences with crap RCAs signals :p :p

Yes, you have to replace the amp and speakers in your car when you replace the head unit. You could also use a line-level converter, but if you reall want to do the "right" thing, just get you some good aftermaket speakers and a 4 or 5 channel amp and do it right...

Ya,
Im gonna have to buy a new amp and speakers so first off all what size are the fronts and backs? I think the fronts are 6 1/2 but what about the backs?
Also, what speakers and amps have you had good experience with?

I just put Eclipse 6.5" separates in the front and 6.5" coaxials in the back last weeknd along with an Eclipse Head Unit and MTW 5-channel amp.
I like MB Quart, higher-end Eclipse stuff as well as Boston Acoustics, it depends if you are going for quality or volume though.... Quality goes alot further than quantity.
