New head unit and speakers using factory Bose connections, no sound from passenger

Hello,

i installed a New head unit and speakers using factory Bose connections, I am getting no sound from passenger side. If I check continuity from the pass speakers to the rear of the hea unit it is fine so not the wiring? Driver’s side front and rear working fine. I am at a bit of a loss what is going on. The head unit is a Power Acoustik cheap Apple CarPlay from Walmart. It has pretty good reviews. Anybody have any thoughts am I missing something with the Bose system, everything was removed.

Thanks

I figured it out, the cause was the word “cheap” used in the post, the factory applied speaker connectors on the wires that were used ( white and white/black stripe) were not connected to actual wire and only connected to the plastic wire cover. So there was no actual connection. You get what you pay for!!! Hopefully the actual head unit is made better. Hope this helps someone else that may have the same issue. Just because it’s new means nothing!

Thanks

no, speakers that came wit the head unit nothing special. I figured it out, it was the speaker wire connectors that came with the head unit speaker combo. The connectors that were attached to the wire were only attached to the plastic sheath and not the actual wire. Now it’s fixed and everything is working.
