DIN Connectors?
Hi everyone,
I have a 1990 Nissan 240SX that I have added a few modern day aftermarket stereo components, though I find myself still lacking power in the main speakers. My dad had a fair share of car stereo equipment when my car was built, including 2 Kenwood amplifiers, one of which is 100 watts x 2 channels, which I would love to use, if it weren't for the fact that the amplifier only has a DIN-style (5 pin) input. I have an old Peripheral Electronics DIN - RCA converter that I plan on trying, but if that should fail, does anyone know of any adapter that I could purchase today, or possibly make, that would serve my purpose? Also, this adapter that I have has two high guage wires on it, one blue and one black, that I cut off when I was younger (I'm 18 now, but I loved to play with these "toys" when I was younger, hehe :-)), and I am unsure of their function, possibly some sort of ground? They look to be too high a guage to be some sort of power connection. If anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate whatever you have to offer. Thanks, in advance! -Sean Elble |

DIN Connectors?
While that is true for the factory radio acccept it was
a CD player (single disc) the Kenwood amp the OP was refering to could have used 5 or 8 pin "DIN" style connectors depending on model/year. All were not wired exactly the same. Jeff "Stephen Narayan" wrote in message ... That DIN cable is an input cable for either a stock equalizer or a stock CD changer..... It's not for outputs to an amplifier....
