If you had a "Bose" sound system - Factory installed - it should have and Amplified System - which means the original stereo will supply power to the Speaker Amps - that is the circuit that didn't get connected and why there is no sound.
I hope that resolves your issue
Thanks

Testimonial: "Is there a different wiring harness to buy? did i just miss a wire, or do i need to bypass the factory amp?"

  • Patrick Miller Feb 22, 2015

    most often the circuit is there with the aftermarket radio

    "Antenna motor on" or "Amp On" is the output you need - both will apply 12 volt signal with radio ON.

    Not sure about the one you need to connect to on the car - however after all the other necessary ones like for speakers - key on power - memory power - ground - there are not too many circuits left .

    I seem to remember blue for Chrysler products.

    Let me know if that helps

    thanks

No sound aftet market radio put in it light up but no sound

Make sure you have the correct wire harness and all speaker wires are hooked up. If so make sure your ride doesnt have a factory amp. Some bose or infinity factory sound systems have a factory amp that you may need to bypass

Installing aftermarket stereo

Sounds like one of your connections are bad. Go through them again and be sure everything is secure. Also, definately check the fader and balance settings, could just be that the fader is set to front and balance is set to left. Also, why did you punch the first one?

I would guess that GM didn't hook these wires up to the factory stereo, as the factory stereo may not have the front back fade feature. They put the wires in to save you time if you decide to put another stereo in. Look under the dash, you will probably see the other end there. I'm not sure about this. Just a guess, but my tractor trailer is set up that way, and I only have 2 speakers, but wires are run to all possible speaker sites. Good luck.

I cant get sound out of my speakers. i put in a new stereo and hooked it up

Did you use a wire harness specific to your vehicle year and model? Make sure you get the right harness, depending on what factory system came with the car(base or mach460 sound systems), If your speakers were working prior to replacing the radio, then there's a possibility that the harness may not be compatible. also, the car may be equipped with a factory amp(mach460 systems). Here's a link that may help you figure it out. http://www.modifiedlife.com/2000-ford-mustang-car-stereo-wiring-instructions/

Im installing a new stereo for my 1995 chrysler lhs. the stereo works, but why cant i get any sound?

It sounds like you have the "Infinity System". The accessory/antenna wire has to be hooked up to the power wire for the factory installed amplifier (should be located under the passenger's seat). Locate the wire from the original harness and hook it to the amp wire. I hope that helps. Please rate my assistance and leave a testimonial.

Speakers don't work

If you had followed the directions correctly and the old speakers worked as well, take the new radio back for exchange
