'00 'stang Alpine Installation

[xterrax]

Installed the amp and the subs and head unit fine. before putting everything in place, decided to try it out in case we had any problems. the subs and amp work fine. problem is, theres no TREBLE! actually, theres no sound at all coming from front stage. also, the back of the head unit is getting real hot. my friend just bought it from a guy he found on craigslist. i would just think the problem is with the head unit, but i hooked another one up, and there was no treble with it either. I need help! any is appreciated!

hey Check your ground wire going to the head unit on the other end too

x2 on the ground...thats why the hu its getting hot.....and about the treable?..i dont know...i have nothing on my mind right now...maybe checking rca's...

where would it been grounded? i've got a ground on the wiring harness, spliced it to the ground on the factory stereo. if that were the problem, though, would the stereo still be coming on? it comes on and the subs work fine. just nothing else.

and i hooked another hu up in place of the new one and it was fine. didnt even change temp. i had the new one hooked up for about 2 minutes and could hardly touch it afterwards

Does the stang have a stocky amp in it for the highs?

 

[xterrax]

no. amp just on the lows.

i'll make another ground. thanks

still need treble help, tho.

might wanna check wires that are going to your speakers..(i mean all your speakers)...that might be your problem..(maybe wires too small(thin),too old..)

EDIT: keep us updated

what model mustang is it?

the speakers were working fine when i took out the factory stereo. idk why they would have stopped working in the process with no prior warning. 2000 mustang. thats all i know about it.

re check everything again bro..maybe you missed to wire something

well there was one problem. theres 2 big connectors(not sure what theyre called), but theres 2 that came with the wiring harness i bought. the long rectangle with about 6 long prongs connected fine, however, a square connector with 8 acceptors didnt connect well. this was the part of the harness thats got the speakers plugged into it. im not sure whether its the wrong size or what, but it just wont click. it feels like its getting too tight to click. not sure but i think thats my problem. and thanks again for the negative connection help.

on the second plug is it a small black square connector?

sounds like you got the premium system with a factory amp.
