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
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.
