New head unit install question
I had a credit to use up, so I ordered a Sony 5000 head unit. I guess im a bit fuzzy on what I dont need to use now. I have 2 line levelers and the breakout harness with my current system.
I no longer need LLs with new Sony correct? What about the breakout harness? I have no expierence with anything but stock 6.5 HU. I would still want to fade the TP.
I currently have a JLXD600/6 with AA602s bridged in fairing and Polk652s in TP. My Prv Neos and JL280/4 came today and will be adding them in lowers once i get the parts to make them work. I will be using channels 5/6 on 600/6 for lowers and the new 280/4 to the TP polks.
thanks

Your not going to need the line leveler for sure as the Sony has rca pre outs. It actually has 2 sets so I would think you could ditch the break out harness too. You would just need to use both pre outs to have fade.

I had already did that. My very first setup with different amp/speaks..i used the factory wiring. But currently have all dedicated speaker wires to all 4 speakers. I will just need to wire 2nd amp to battery,etc.

you are going to need one if the install kits that comes with the modules to retain your handlebar controls, Metra/Access, Biketronics and Scoshe all make one, i just used the metra install kit last moth an a Sony install and it worked just fine,,,,i think it was 95-9700.

As suggested to me, I plan is to mount the JL280/4 vertically on my Bt speaker bracket. Clutch side. I did see pics of someone that had it horizontally in front, tight to back of radio .

You're gonna love that deck and the XD600. Word has it a new firmware (the first update) should add some boss stuff. Even without a dedicated x-over you'll do really well. But I'd consider an x-over down the road to really max it out.
