    amplifier issues

    I have bought a car with a very professionally installed Kenwood system from the early 2000s I assume. The issue i'm facing is in the Kenwood KAC-8404 Amplifier.

    Kenwood excelsior KDC-X704 wiring issues

    I decided to wire my old kenwood into an older suburban, after having a few hiccups, I finally get the radio on, but the only thing it does is say “miswiring, check wiring, then power on” could it say that because I didn’t plug in the antenna cable? Or did I mess something up? Tomorrow I’m gonna...
