The P.Cont is the power control wire that should connect to the power control on the amp. (probably Blue/White)
P.Antenna is for a power antenna motor or to the booster amp if you have film type antenna (Blue)
What color is the Cont. EXT? it might be dimmer control (orange/White).

P.Cont is where my remote is hooked up.
P.Antenna has no power coming out
Cont.Ext is kinda pink with a white stripe.

Here is something else. It does not affect my audio, but it bugs me. I can't dimm my freaking lights! They're always at the brightest and can't be dimmed! Probably has something to do with my HU wiring.

Can someone give me a detailed diagram of the stock audio harness. Or is it already somewhere on the forum? I need to know what every single pin does.

Ok... here is what I did today.

1. I changed my ground
Result: Nothing changed, I still have the same problem.

2. I tried a third amplifier
Result: Still the same freakin problem

3. I source my amp from my rear deck speaker.
Result: When hooked up that way, my 300Watt amp is more powerfull than my 500Watt hooked to my HU. I got no more problem that way.

So here is my temporary diagnostic. either both my sets of RCA are crappy, either my HU RCA output is somehow fu***up.

When I am hooked directly to HU, I can only hook up 1 RCA cable. Either left or right. If I plug both of them, my sub seems to be sorta out of phase or something. Do somebody knows why?

One other thing, with that much bass now, it sounds like my car is about to fall appart. Everything is rattling. From outside, you can ear as much bass as you can ear rattles. Would dynamat fix that problem?

Are your RCAs run from the HU on the same side of the car as the power and remote? I've never heard of a popping occuring from that, but it does cause problems, such as engine noise from the speakers.

Power lines and RCAs are on seperate side of the car.

Sticks:
I can hook both of my RCA one at a time and have no problem. Problems occur when both are plugged at the same time.

you tried switching channels, switching plugs, switching everything?

sounds like there is a short somewhere in the RCA line. anything touching? this is really puzzling.

Are the RCA's from your HU Mono? I know on my Sony deck the sub output was in mono. I had a friend lend me a piece that converst the white rca on my amp and splits it into two. My red is not used on my amp at all. Maybe that just thought I put in my .02

reading over this post, it actually sounds like you might have wired something incorrectly on your harness. how did you do the wiring? did you buy a mitsu harnes that wires up to the radio harness and plugs into the factory plug? if so, all the wires should match up by color, or at least similar colors. there should also be a wiring diagram that came with the radio, match up the leads to the circuit diagram provided on this site. the reason you can't dim your lights is probably because you don't have the dimmer lead attached (should be orange i believe), and you are probably getting a sub hit from something being crossed or incorrectly wired.

it has all the wire colors laid out for you.
