[QUOTE="jmanpc, post: 2545840, member: 565915"] Alright, so you got the special harness? If so, you ought to be in good shape as far as door chimes, etc. go. How did you hook up the Sony head unit to your speakers? Did you plug it into the factory harness? Was the Sony unit recieving power from the same source that the stock head unit was getting power from? The reason I ask is that if the Sony powers up, but the stock unit fails to, then the stock head unit could be dead. Have you checked the constant power fuse for the radio to see if it is blown yet? That would be the first thing I check. As far as running new speaker wires, it's not absolutely necessary. However, the stock wiring is pretty cheap, thin stuff. If you feel you need to rewire, then a spool of Wal-Mart 18awg (10 bucks) will suffice. Do you plan on running an external amplifier for your speakers or are you going to power them off the Eclipse?
