Installing VR500CS-BT Can you install this car stereo with only 2 speakers?

This normally doesn't work because the stereo system is monitored and run by the BCM via the computer network. Things like chimes and warnings are played through the stereo amplifier.

Run either just the fronts or the rears. Do not tie any speaker wires together as that will damage your output ic.

Follow the link below and you should see a download link of the manual from the page.

Hi, here are your factory wire colors/functions. Aftermarket stereos have a common set of colors, which should be in your installation diagram. The process is simplified if you purchase a wiring adapter for your vehicle. These are available for under $10 at most WALMARTs and auto parts stores or about any place that sells car stereos. In either case, I recommend you solder the connections or at least use crimp terminals. If you have any more questions, please let me know--I've done a lot of stereo installations.

BEST BET IS TO GO TO A STORE THAT SELLS &INSTALLS.... I,VE HAD THEM MAKE A COPY OF A SCHMATIC BEFORE... ,CHARLIE

Hello Jax GS300,

Yes, you can use RCA cables. Just wire in a "low-level" converter.

Using RCA's is really the best way, allowing you to run shielded wiring to the sub, making it less likely that the wiring will pick up electrical interference. I'd install the converter on the rear speaker wires behind the dash.

If you do not want to convert the speaker output, you can drive the Kenwood directly from the speaker wires. The diagram in the install manual shows the connections coming off the rear speakers.

Here's a link to one output converter. This one will convert all 4 speakers.
