I don't know what those abreviations are but if you are using the head units amp and connecting with wires instead of RCA's, I sincerely doubt it has a 5th channel. I think you mixed up the right speaker for the center speaker.

I agree with racer. Aftermarket headunits do not run 5 channels only 4. To test to make sure you have crimped the right speaker leeds take a 9 volt battery and touch each speaker wire to the terminals. The speaker will make a sound (do not hold it for long), and you can tell what speaker goes to what wire.
Oh one other question. Is your headunit powering every speaker? Are you using external amps? If not, whats powering your sub?? I hope not the headunit.

no i meant i spliced the green n black with the blue and white wire, i dont have external amps, no sub, its all stock... there is voltage goin to the right door speakers... i hooked everything up with the right wires... im stumped... ill try it again... so what your saying is the center speaker isnt supposed to turn on???

You have 4 channels out of the headunit, so 4 speakers should play, FT left, FT Right, R Right, R Left. Does your car have a Bose? Check to see if your car has factory amps, if so you are going to have to pull them. You cannot run the after market amplified headunit the same way a unamplified factory one does.

I got the Bose system in my Touring. Got a Kenwood CD player. Got the Metra wiring adapter. Soldered all the wires to their corresponding wire on the CD head unit. Soldered the amp turn on wire (blue) from CD player to the green and black wire in the car (cut it just before it got to the connector because the Metra harness didn't have a wire in this location). All of my speakers work including the center channel. I just figured the center channel was running off the right or left front channel.

You got Bose, or base stereo?

i got A 93 touring with the bose sound system... i checked all the wiring and its fine... i also put all the wires to corresponding places... only the left, center and the rear tube have sound coming out of them... could it be my radio its a kenwood, my dad had it in his truck, and worked just fine... it has an amp inside of it, i had an extra speaker box so i opened ii, it was out f my old rx-7... what color are the center speaker wires???

White94RX

could be the radio, but i don't know. obviously you don't have the fader or balance controls adjusted to cut off those speakers right?

shazzam00

right... but i solved the problem... i took it to an audio expert and he said it wasnt grounded thats why it didnt have sound... thank you John64, GoRacer, and White94RX... i already have the scosche on its way anyways so ill probably follow the Sticky next time... Thanks again...
