So much for that idea.  I just got through moving the RCAs over to
the chopped soundgate harness.

Turning the unit on, off, switching tracks, pushing buttons etc cause
earth-shattering pops...inputs are obviously not matched or
something.  Except for the really loud pops every so often, however,
the audio sounded fantastic.
