How could I tell re: the bridged outputs???
I bought the stereo yesterday...
Something that was really nice: It has a REMOTE....cool for me...
But I really didn't understand... so asked the sales person..."why would someone want a remote in thier car?"
Now to show where my mind is.... I'm figuring...Boy how nice when I was in the back of that old 62 Pontiac station wagon of mine would it have been to say, "just a sec baby, I'll change the station".
Well, NOT. He said that the teens today are making systems that are so loud that you can't be in the car with it on..... NOW THINK ABOUT THAT?? Something wrong their.

Beware!! - many car audio systems use bridged outputs - neither side of the speaker is grounded - so you will have to switch both leads of each speaker - you will need a total of 8 poles to be safe, unless you can verify that one side of all the car radio speakers is grounded.
