Audio design schematic up for wiring help
Greetings all! Brand new to the forums and proud new owner of an RX8.
I am designing a small, yet clean sounding stealthy audio system for the car. Hopefully fanatics like yourselves can help me determine if I have the proper hardware based on the stock equipment I plan to use with it.
1) I have the BASE model stereo in the car (no Bose AMPs). Based on that, is there a CD Changer input on back of the HU to take advantage of the Audio Link MP3 player I read about here.
2) Is the Line-Out setup I have displayed OK? Any possibility of burning up the HU?
3) Does the HU have a remote turn-on output?
4) Most importantly, if you see anything missing connectivity-wise, errors etc, please feel free to contribute.

Thanks Wilson!
For whatever reason, I was under the impression that the Line In on the Audio Link was just for HU control and the RCA Stereo on the XM Modulator was for a direct Line In on the HU. So that changes things a bit.
I guess I'd just need an RCA Stereo to 1/8" Mini plug. I'd rather have a direct signal vs. FM modulation anyway.

Well, I decided to change up the speaker selection from MB Quarts to Phoenix Gold. Better priced and sounds better (in my opinion). I snagged 2 of the Xenon X5.0 Component 5 1/4 sets with the 6X8 and 6X9 plate conversions. Since I have an Audiobahn ALUM10N sub, the low end is taken care of.
I will eventually upload the pics of the install. Thanks for the help

You still should read all the stickys. They helped me tremendously when I was planning (and doing) my audio system upgrade. Here is a link to the tread I created when I was done: CLICK ME
