Need Help With Head Unit Install


Alrighty then, well... I own a 1988 Mustang GT and I might be doing my own audio install on it. I have ordered Infinity Reference (2-ways) all around, and a Legacy 600x2 Watt Amp. I will be using a Rockford Fosgate RFX9210 Head Unit and running new speaker wire all around. The questions I have are as follows: First off, this head unit has no RCA's on it, but it has 2 areas for pin connectors. I've done some research and I assume that I have to get some sort of pin connector that has RCA's on it, but I can't find this *ANYWHERE*. Where could I find this part, if it exhists? My next question is, if I find that RCA plugin, do I still need to get a wiring harness? If so why? (To power the head unit? To power the Amp?).... Thanks in advance everyone! Sorry if I sound retarded, this is my first full install.

why are you running all new speaker wire in the car???? as far as the radio is concerend they do not make any pin connectors that has rca's on the end of them if they do they are exclusive to only rockford and you would have to get it through them if they even have it. I have installed speakers and and radios in cars almost 40 years old and never had to run new wire to the speakers unless they are corroded from dry rotting or just messed up. Also, I would buy the wiring harness b/c it will take all the head ache away from trying to find out what wire does what, you can just wire it up color for color.
