use the wire that is blue with the white stripe for your amp turn on wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

First off you have on sweet and bad *** ride. Second if you are using the receiver with an external amplifier you have to run the blue wire with a white stripe to the amplifier to tell it to power on.

If you are not using an external amp go into your settings of your receiver and go to were it should say like P-IC or something like that, that us your internal amp make sure that is turned on. If after checking that still no sound than you need to check your wires.

thank you! so i know there is an amplifier clip that hooks into the back of the stock stereo, and the clip has a wire that is blue and white... is it safe to assume that i can go thru that and hook it up that way?

AIM'ed ya, Okay here is what i got there is a wiring harness you need to get that bypasses the factory amplifier that is the only way you can use an after-market head unit the thing that sucks is by doing this the factory sub will no longer work you would need a small amp for that.

No Problem Man
