well as some know i moved out recently and since its been gettin warm i put my beat back. butttttt it got stolen the other week :'( my heart is broken. of course i shouldve expected it i live in a college neighborhood. sub, both amps, threw the amp rack torn to shreds in the yard :'[ wires ripped out through metal and wood and interior carpet everywhere, crossovers were smashed in the yard and street and driveway:'((((( terrible.. what they did to me...

on a more direct note, since then ive recovered a lil, took my HU out cuz my speakers were ran off RCAs, but for the past 2 days ive cleaned it all up, got 2 extra 6x9s in the back and have my DLS component set... no amp.. tried to run it all from the HU buuut no sound..? any input or advice?

internal amp may be disabled since you'd been using the pre-outs. some brands have that oprion, like eclipse and alpine to name two.

also from the way they smashed everything, it almost sounds like you pissed someone off by disturbing them with the system.. but that's just speculation.

ok so i switched my cd player out with my buddies pioneer, which also happens to be my old pioneer, just so we could unplug them and make the process fit. neither cd player played sound in my car, both played sound in his car, but how is this? because all of my speakers are wired straight to the unit, no harnesses. my power n ground n stuff go thru the harness but really now wtf

miswired.

did you use a harness adapter for this, or did you just match the wire colors?

i bought my jeep with a pioneer in it, sold it, put another pioneer in with the same harness, adapter, etc, worked fine. sold that pioneer to my friend brian. got my most recent 1. rcas ran never speakers ran off the Unit, switched from an amp to the unit for my doors tweets and 6x9s. none work. buuuuttt awhile ago my ground wire ripped outta my pioneer harness so i have a wire going straight to theback of my cd player with the little "safety screw" that comes with the unit... u kno it has like a nut in the middle of it and screws into the chassis of the Pioneer? ya.

that's not a ground.
that's a safety strap in case of an accident so the radio doesn't dislodge and crush your face, kill your children, and cause you to die horribly in a screaming ball of fire.
