Blue/white wire? When they worked before I hooked up the RF speaker, it was blue/white to blue white/ ........GM harness to factory harness

I want to see if my Head unit is bad and I want to put back in the factory radio just to test the RCA's, amp and subs. I pulled this converter out a while ago. It has clips ready to be plugged back in, but I do not rememeber of the 4, what connects to what. On my line out converter there are 2...

Yeah , I plugged in an ipod with RCA's directly into the amp and no hum. The HU is surrounded by mostly plastic and was working great until I rehooked up one speaker wire.....confusing..working 1 minute, hook up one wire that cam eloose and now I arrived at Humming amps at the turn of the key...

On yours, so as sonn as you turned the switch on the car, it was an extremely loud hummm? and to ground the RCA's I take it I wrap wire around the input jacks on the amp and then ground it?

I hooked up my sons ipod directly to amp. Turned the gains up on the amp since I had them down to avoid the loud hummm, and when the ipod was hooked up, I didn't get any humm. Does this mean its for sure my HU? I'm only guessing this since everything worked as wired before I rehooked up the RF...

I "think" those were all OK. Everything worked great. All I did I thought was reconnect the RF speaker that had come undone (black/grey) and put it back together......

Sorry..just thought I'd post in "General" and since it seems to be a sub issue, here to. I apologize. Just frustrating. But I think I'll proably do what you say and spend some $$$ and use it as a learning lesson. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help

Yes, everything is wrapped with tape. I may re do all the connections with butt clips. Would that be better? Antenna? What are you saying here? I purchased an adapter for GM cars, hooked that up and pluuged it to the HU. I understand what you say about wires being wrong, but again, I thought...

2001 Alero. My sons system/subs/amp was professionally installed with a factory stereo untill he could afford a new one. He finally purchesed a Kenwwood MP 235. We put it in. Spliced in the required GM Wire Harness to the factory wires, purchased and connected antenna adapter, put it all in and...

YES, The negative WAS disconnected from battery. Just baffles me alot. ALL i did was reconnect the blck/grey wire that was for the RF speaker. It had come apart from the splice. OK, my son has the Ipod and I will try what you say if he has the adapter. If not.....Guess I have to foot the ****...

Just another rookie ?. If the subs are gone, I was told the amp my son has is not big enough to push the subs.......Blown??? HOW DO I LOOK at them to know if thet are gone? **** I woul have had him live without a RF speaker. You people are awesome

When U say "blown your subs" what does that mean? I'm a rookie here so help me out :-)

OK, but wait, now you have scared me. THEY WORKED JUST FINE BEFORE I JUST CONNECTED ONE RF SPEAKER WIRE?? These are VERY expensive subs. ****, I will bring them back to the pros and let you know what the result is. THANK YOU ALL for all your respsones. I have some saying Amp is done, some...

OK, if I turned the "L" and "R" gain off the blasting goes away but No subs. As I slowly turn the gains back, the subs just seem to go to a Hum and hum louder and louder as I turn the gain up. Not the thumping the subs are supposed to do?

Yes the HU works without the amp connected to it. They had the factory HU connected from the amp to an adapter. The adapter was spliced into the factory harness.The reason he wanted a new HU was to be able to control the subs which he could. I called them after that when he purchased a new HU...
