f done carefully, you won't lose any audio quality in the patch, and the result is a sled that hasn't been altered and can eventually be re-sold or repurposed for a car installation.


That was the main driver for doing mine the way that I did (just RCAs). I had an RCA panel for soldering and then decided it wouldn't look any cleaner. Rewire the harness?? Well, it's pretty delicate and I need to keep my modest soldering skills in mind. When it comes to hums and buzzes, better a few RCAs than a butchered rewiring and solder job.
