Because speakers generally only have two wires connecting them in cars, you simply cut the old connectors off and crimp the new ones on. Easy!

i too have ordered a 320 and was not aware that i need an adapter cable for the head unit,what are these for and how much are they?? the head unit is an alpine if that makes any difference.

When you look in the hole in the dash where the stereo should be on my 6 you see a multipin plug, maybe 20 pins.

That is a "unique" style plug for that model car, go to a car audio shop with the car, let them plug and test one or two of their Mitsubishi leads in (£12 maybe)

Their lead will convert it from whatever car you have to ISO which is a standard format.

You Alpine will most likely have an ISO socket on it so by using the adaptor you just plug the unit in with no cutting, crimping or anything.

A lot of cars now come with ISO plugs as their standard and have moved away from "unique" affairs but I am not sure the Japs have done so yet even on the late 8's ?
