Hey

Umm so i installed an after market deck, and wired everything and now the speakers arent working, i checked the wiring and its all in the right place... but for some reason its not working, no sound.
so i decided to take out one of my speakers adn a set of the wires, and test to see if all the speakers were blown, but they turned out to be fine..

so im wondering if theres like a ground wire or something thats not connected?

well if anyones got any ideas, thanks.

 

hmm.. well if you messed up when grounding the deck its possible that you blew a fuse in the deck.

 

I believe there are factory amps for the speakers. You need to remove these amps and run new wires to the speakers from the HU. There should be one on the passenger side and one in each shock tower. Just run a short wire from the HU to a known good speaker to test if the HU itself is working too. If it were just a ground wire the HU wouldn't turn on.

 

i checked all the fuses they are ok,

yeah i know what your talking about, the passenger side has a big bulky system, which is prolly the amp, and the rear has something similar. so basically what you are saying is just run the wires from the HU directly to thhe speakers? wouldnt the quality sound like ****? like no power and bass?

 

They are 20+ year old paper speakers. They're going to sound like **** regardless.....

 

The head unit supplies the power to the speakers, so no they would sound just fine. I am using my original speakers in the rear and Alpines in the front with Monster cables and it sounds great. You don't have to completely run new wires although it would be better. You need to either remove or bypass the amps. Good luck.

 

As stated above,run new wires directly to the speakers from the Head unit.You have most likely Disabled the power amps to the speaker when you rewired for the New Deck,so you are hitting a brick wall before the signal hits the Speaker.Bypass the amps at the Speaker,run the wires to the speaker and Voila!..all the Noise and Crap and Corruption that you young Guys Listen to!..good luck..(from the Old guy!..)

 

lol ok then thanks, ill try that, grab some monster cables and run them directly from HU to the speakers, without the factory amps?

so its ok tho if i got after market amps right, that would work

 

This should be in the interior / exterior / audio section for better results.

 

Sorry for the thread jack, but I just got my headrest speakers working yesterday and god do they sound good. I can't believe a 20yr old car could sound that good.
