[QUOTE="barobbin, post: 8379734, member: 665293"] Well I will start off by saying that I am a noob when it comes to car audio. Now that thats out of the way, here is my problem. I have been tinkering around installing a system in my 2011 f250 lariat non navigation with sync and subwoofer. This is my first install so go easy on me. The gear I am installing is: rockford t2652-s components run passive, p300x2, p300x1, a stereo integrity bm mk iv 12" shallow mount and a pac audio PAC AOEM-FRD24 oem interface. All run off the stock head unit. Worked on the truck all day yesterday and around ten at night I thought I had it almost finished. I have the pac plugged into the oem head unit and I ran wires from my amp to behind the head unit to tie into the stock door speaker wires (I know that is pretty much a sin on this website and highly inefficient but it was way easier than trying to find a good way to run them from the cab to the door speakers). Well after a long and frustrating day working and trying to figure out the best way to do things, I wired up one of the door speaker wires from the amp to what I thought was the oem wires that go to the door speakers. Good news is I chose the right wires to splice into. Bad news is that I spliced into the wrong end of the wire. Instead of connecting to the side that goes to the door speakers, I got switched up and connected to the side that goes back to the pac oem interface!!! What a ******* you might say, I would agree but its my first install and it was a long day! It seems I am always learning what to do by doing what I shouldn't! Anyways, I turned everything on to see if I did it right and got a loud noise from the one speaker I had connected. Turned everything off real quick and said oh ****. Took a second and gathered my thoughts to realize I had connected it wrong. I plugged the stock harness back into the head unit (bypassing the pac interface completely) and get no sound at all through my speakers. And now my head unit has completely reset itself and all of my sirius xm info has been wiped off it. I checked all the fuses in the main panel and there are none blown. The head unit turns on but I don't think it has any output. I think the amps and speakers are ok but I think I may have fried the pac interface and the head unit. I already ordered a new pac unit and it should be here tomorrow. Any other ideas on what i should do? Sorry for the long write up but I am flustered and want to be as clear as I can about what I'm doing. Any advice is welcome! Thanks for the help, Brad [/QUOTE]
