Use the pot and you only get half the head units power, 2 channels.
So, I'm looking at the Fader today and it has 12 wires (6 pairs) going into / coming out of it. I'm guessing that you have 4 going out and two going in. But, that makes no sense. Unless you have a right side coming in through one pair, a left side coming in through another pair; and then the fader sending out two pairs to the front (left and right) and two pairs to the back (left and right). But then, there's two sets of speakers on each side of the rear. So, how in the heck did they engineer this one?

And since the wires are either black, or red/black, how do you know which one is incomming and which one is outgoing?

Thoughts?
