Thread: Need some audio advise and input

Curious, if I bypass the GMOS for the speaker hook up and go right of the HU harness, will the chime still function?

In your opinion, should I hook up and tuck the RCA wires away behind the dash for future use?
This is what the rear of the XR610 looks like

At the moment, I don't have any RCA's plugged into the HU but if I already have it out of the dash to rewire the speakers maybe it might be a good idea to plug some cables into the back of the HU in case i want to add on later and just tuck the cables out of sight until I decide to make use of them. Thoughts?

The purpose of wiring speaker wire through the GMOS is to retain the chime function. I have a gmos 100 that skips that entirely. It was adding a hiss to my speakers. If you don't care about retaining any chimes then bypass it. The reason power goes through it is because it allows the vehicle to identify the radio as a RAP device so it powers on and off with all the other accessory items.

Thanks fer all your help Coleslaw. I appreciate ya takin the time to educate my old ass.
