not if you test correctly

He's got good numbers on his leads. Dont think ground is an issue here...

update...i tightened the harness into the deck (seller said this happened in his install) and so now the deck does in fact power up...however, i get no sound...it isnt on mute or anything, i checked that...any ideas?

If that player is equipped with an option to turn off the internal amp, then you need to turn that back on. Usually called "power ic" or something along thos lines. If you dont have a manual, you can get one online. If that doesnt work then we'll figure that out when time comes. Try that, if it has the option...

i wouldnt think it would be that, cuz then at least my mono would play right?

If the internal amp is off then then only the rcas will would. Not the speaker leads on the harness.

Yea, my mono is hooked up thru the SW rcas...and the deck has IC but i cant figure out how to access it

make sure subwoofer is on power Ic is on if you have no speaker amps

God I used to have that deck.. simple to do.. can't think of it off top of my head.. go in the menus section and use the >>| button to go through.. go into all the sub-menus etc

for future reference, you never want to hook up the orange wires. cant tell you why, but ive always been told not to because they can damage your dash lights.

and some alpines you have to actually turn on the sub out.

Ok do this... press MENU selet SETUP, then press MODE. From there press the TRACK UP and DOWN buttons till you see POWER IC and make sure that it is set to the ON setting. Use the ROTARY KNOB to change variables. Once it is in the ON position press MENU and you should be good to go.

is this an "active deck"? if it is theres probably a switch on the outside casing that sets it to 2 way or 3 way active. maybe thats turned to 3 way when it should be 2 way?
