Do you have the monsoon system?

If so that requires (I THINK) a complete rewire

Yeah its the one with only the tape player and we took out the stock amp and did somethings but it still didn't work for some odd reason.

call eclipse and ask. might be a bad internal amplifier.

Take the cd player out of the dash, disconnect all the speaker wires. Take a new speaker and attach it to the speaker wires from the 8443. If the speaker works, so does the cd player. This means that the issue is in the vehicle somewhere, more than likely where the factory amp was. If you take out the stock amp, the entire system needs to be rewired.

To avoid the possibility of rewiring, try to see if you can get a turn on lead to be connected for the stock amp. If you had bought the Metra harness 80-1784, it'll show you where to connect these turn on leads. It's usually white in color for the car.
