Its probably not that bad. Its nice to know there are so many helpful people on this board //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Go get a digital multimeter if you don't already have one. Find Everywire back there and test and see if there is any power. You should have only 1 wire that is getting power while the car is off, and two while the car is on. The one while the car is off is called the memory wire, the other is simply the power wire. Then your best bet is to just make a new ground (Drill a hole into the chassis, put a bolt through it, attach it to a piece of wire (10ga) and then connect that to the HU ground) Then the rest will be speaker wires, for that you simply need a battery, connect the postive to one end of it and negative to antoher and you'll hear which speaker it is, label it, and then continue with the rest of them. There will also be an antenna, which looks like a big stereo plug, that is pretty self explanatory. I hope i was of some help, good luck.

Not rocket science, you just gotta run the wires yourself like nosaj070 is tellin' ya'. All you need is battery power, igntion switched power, and a ground. For the power, you can just go to your fuse box and tap in. There are these things called 'add-a-fuse' or something like that which you can find at the local Pep boys. You remove a fuse, plug this puppy in it's place and put that fuse in the first slot in it. You then put another fuse in the second slot in it and it has a pigtail that you then connect your accessory to. Get one for your switched (probably find a fuse labeled radio) and one for your 'always-on' (cigarette lighter usually has power all the time). I used them on my Jeep since I had to run my own wiring to a heavy duty locking center console. From there you just need your antenna and speaker/amplifier hook-ups.

hey yall i need major help my girl has a 10in rockford fasgate sub in the back and 2 pioneer 220peak 6x9's with a jvc 200 watt deck,450 watt amp the sub has 300 watt peak so it is not bridged the sub sound fine but the 6x9 crackle when you turn the bass and volume up past 28 the deck goes to 50 shouldnt the 6x9's handle 200watts if they are 220 peak?.....let me know what i should do to fix the cracleing oh and also when i fade the speakers to the front the sub goes off then when i turn them all the way to the back the sub goes back on is this supposed to be like this it seems that the 6x9s are wired into the amp but i checked wires an cant figure how that would be i dunno much about it because bust buy wired it dont sound like they did a goo job HELP ME!!!!

Wow, you have a lot of issues........

First off, you listed all peak power figures, which are meaningless. RMS power is the only thing that matters

Second, that headunit is probably only putting out 10-15 watts per channel, so the crackling is either the crappy amp inside the headunit, or the speakers have an issue. My guess is that there is no highpass on the speakers, so you are pushing them beyond their limits by making them try to play bass also, mixed with the crappy internal amp causing the crackling problems.

Third, it sounds like the subs are wired to the "rears" on the deck, which is why the fading effects it like it does. I'm going to guess that your deck doesn't have sub outs, and might not have more than rear outputs, so you may just have to live with the bass fading issue.

Like someone here already said get a custom wiring harness and on the little bag it comes in, it will tell you what the wirses are. plug in the harness to the original wiring and then figure the rest out. It will be so much easier with the harness there. you dont have to try and figure out what the factory wires are.

For the 6x9's, try bass blocks. For about $10 they block out everything below 300Hz and will make your speakers sound better and last longer. You can get em at Best Buy.
