I just needed to know how you wired the RCA line outs from the harness to the speakers.
If I understand you correctly... you can't use the RCA outputs of an aftermarket deck and connect them to the speaker leads in a 1994 car (i.e., you can't connect the RCA outputs of the deck to the RCA jacks on the adapter harness Gatorbait had). You need to use the speaker-level ouputs of the head unit. Gator cut the RCA jacks off the adapter and connected the speaker level outputs of the head unit to them - I realize this doesn't make sense, but it's because that harness is NOT correct for the 94-95 cars.

The 1994-95 W124 sound systems are totally different than the 91-93 setups. You can eliminate all the hassle by obtaining a newer Becker head unit, it's plug+play for the 94-95 W124, just not cheap.
