i was wondering if i could run my head unit in my house to see if i want to put it in or take it back...

 

you could get a dc power supply and run it off that

 

which wires would i connect? and what would i ground it to?

 

your headunit will not make good friend with your light socket. Go to radio smack and get an ac/dc converter. Speaking of, i dont know why on earth you would want to run a car unit in a house...

 

jus put in in tha car its quicker and cheaper unless u don't work on cars

 

well i just want to see how it looks b4 i go through all the trouble of putting it in and it doesn't work or something but i'm not going to try it now... i don't wanna risk it

 

just get the wireing harness, and attach all the wires toughter, dont sader them toughter, and dont install it, just have it sitting there and you can see if you want to keep it or not...we had a dc converter at the shop i used to work at..you plug it in on one end, and the other end they have a red and black connecter, you just hook the yellow and red (im pretty sure) to the red connecter and ground the other ..this just turns the deck on, you cant play music or anything

 

you mean connect all the wires in the harness together or what???

 

no

you cant just simply wire the red and yellow together and touch the black on the negative battery terminal and the red/yellow on the positive.

 

then if you want to hear it you have to hook it to speakers and what not, dude...its just WAY WAY easier to just put it in the car..i promise
