Default DIY Aftermarket Head Unit - Delta CC

Hi ya'll!

READ: IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE! DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! INFORMATIVE ONLY!

After small research and discovering that its quite hard to hardwire new headunit i decided to make it easy for ya'll Delta CC "lovers"...lol

I bought that nice Alpine 7894 from eBay for 100bucks... sweet stuff! Amber light!

<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/1235/p8190130sn8.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>&lt;br/&gt;<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=364&i=p8190130sn8.jpg"><img src="http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/1235/p8190130sn8.625169da2c.jpg" border="0"></a>

Some people might try to get this harness,not everyone might like to butcher their cars wires...
METRA 70-1787

Wiring...!

Connect new headunit using AMP OUTS! CONNECT THE GLI (Ground Loop Isolator) between the RCA cables from the headunit to the RCA that goes to the car speakers in order to prevent the popping sound of discharging Amp.
GET TWO GLIs - ONE FOR THE FRONT AND ONE FOR THE REAR

USE ONLY THE "POSITIVE" SIDE OF THE RCA

<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7541/p8190133tl4.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>&lt;br/&gt;<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=&i=p8190133tl4.jpg"><img src="http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7541/" border="0"></a>

Hook the RCAs and the Amp trigger to the cars BOSE wiring

<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/7251/p8190138tb7.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>&lt;br/&gt;<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=382&i=p8190138tb7.jpg"><img src="http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/7251/p8190138tb7.e096abdac1.jpg" border="0"></a>

YOURE DONE! ENJOY YOUR NEW STEREO!

Default Thats why you have to use GLI

New headunits don't have "common ground". So you need some kind of filter...the ground loop isolator. Check that you didnt connect the speakers to the headunit amp, that might be a problem too...but i think its just the matter of the ground isolator...

Default No pics yet...AndrewWK wrote in his post that

"the GLI's (ground loop isolators) are connected between the LF/RF/LR/RR pre-amp outputs and the harness connections to each channel on the Bose amps. The GLI's will eliminate the pop when changing tracks by preventing a discharge of the Bose amps, as modern stereos don't use common ground."

Default Did you use the metra harness?

If you notice, the metra harness has the outers of the rca plugs connected to a ground pin correctly. This is important to reduce interference. There are also GLI's that allow grounding for the RCA's outer ring on the other side. Let me know if you find the problem.

thanks,
Andrew

Default I could be mistaken, but I believe that's the metra 70-1787 harness

metra 70-1785 is for gamma headunit users and metra 70-1787 is for the delta headunit.
