Front Speakers Don't work... :-/

Hey, i just installed a new head unit using the harnessing brackets from circuit city, but the front speakers aren't working now :-/ Does anybody have any idea why they don't work...? And yes, all of the connections have been connected...

~Very confused

With mine, I had to disconnect the stock amp for the back speakers to work right, and rewire the front to the radio.

I don't exactly understand what you mean... were your backs not working? Or did you do that to get your fronts to work?

I think what he means is try to disconnect the amp and bridge the wires strait to the speaker and see if they are working.

The amps (there are two, one for each speaker) are in the passenger side speaker housing.

Heh, the hardest part of doing that is taking apart the stupid dash. Oh well, it's fun deciding what to do with all the extra screws at the end :P

Extra screws are the sign of an incompetent installer
