I used the adapter harness to wire up the stereo. I have tried disconnecting the remote line, pulling both the radio fuse and the amp fuse, and disconnecting the RCA'S. Will get the DMM out later today and see if any wires have power going to them that shouldn't.

An adapter just makes it easier to wire up a stereo. Your still splicing into old lines. im saying run totally new everything.

if factory amplified might have 2ohm speakers and then you will run into more problems.

Like what? 2ohm speakers will just get a 4 ohm signal and be quieter. If it comes to that, he will know. Chances are he will end up amping everything in the end and it wont matter.

but if your gonna get a DMM and test leads. Test speaker ohm resistance just to know.

never assume stuff especially if you are trying to give someone advice. and a 2ohm speaker getting a 4ohm signal doesnt work that way.

a single 2 ohm speaker will always present a 2 ohm nominal load... not a 4 ohm load.
