I replaced the radio on my boat with my old Pioneer DEH3500 and found out that the speaker grounds on the left are somewhere tied together and the right side the same way. Although the radio sounds fine does is this wrong?

Thanks.

Depending on how the deck is designed INSIDE, it may or may not be an issue. If it uses 4 separate amplifier channels inside, it will eventually case an issue, yes. If 2 channels, no. You cannot know how it is wired inside, so, if they provide you with eight output wires (two for each speaker), I highly recommend running new wire sets to each corner of the boat.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
