I have a 2001 toyota corolla got the 1.8 L. The car came with an aftermarket radio but only the back left speaker is working well cause of my experience in installing car stereos I pulled the radio and...

Sound test/click test each speaker with a flashlight battery at the radio end of the harness. Hold the ground of battery on metal frame or ground wire and touch the speaker wire to the hot post of the battery. If speaker doesn't click click/static, speaker is bad or harness not connected to speaker. If each passes the test and clicks, your speaker control on the radio isn't working. Being a stereo installer you should know this, or possibly forgot to do so. I've neglected to do the same for the "hurry" mode had kicked in.

I have an old Chevy and I'm trying to hook up my Kenwood kdc-138 stereo. I have the red wire connect to the red ignition wire and black wire to ground. I have the yellow wire hokoed up to the ignition...

The fact that your speakers have only one wire, indicates that they are the old negative ground type. You will have to buy new speakers, or try and connect the negative wires of your speaker wires from the radio to the car body (chassis) and try that. Normally you will get a bit of static when you start your engine

Jensen vm9411 has no sound from radio hookups put rca wires have sound

If the previous radio played all the speakers and the new one wont either:
1. You have not hooked the speakers up right.
2. All your speakers are blown.
3. There is a factory amp, you just don't know about it.
4. The radio has blown final outputs.
5. One or more speakers or speaker wires is seeing a ground (shorted out)

First check the radio, hook up a know good test speaker directly to the speaker outputs on the radio. If it works, then take a 9volt battery and try to pop the inside speakers with it. When you touch the + & - speaker wires to the battery + &- you should hear a pop at the speaker. If you do you don't have an amp. If you don't you might have an amp or the wire going to the speaker is dead or shorted out. It is unlikely that all four speakers would be bad or have bad wires. If none of them will pop you need to turn on the factory amp. Then they will play. If only one speaker wont pop then that is the bad speaker. If they all pop then you have a bad speaker or wire.

I replaced the cd player in my accord, the one before worked when i took it out, the radio i put in works as well tested it with hot and ground wires and a speaker to every terminal before i hooked it up...

On many cars there is an exterior amp that the sound goes through before it is sent to the speakers. If the remote turn on wire isnt connected after you take your previous cd player out then the amp wont know when to turn on and therefore no sound will come from your speakers although your cd player is doing its job.
