[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8810242, member: 614752"] Definitely get rid of those wire nuts, they are absolutely unsafe for use in a vehicle. I'd also encourage you to invest a couple bucks in some proper connectors for the connections to your amp's power terminals. Seems to be a lot of stuff going on here, but as someone else said, RCA and the blue (or blue with white stripe) wire needs to run back from the head unit to your amp. Do the factory speakers have sound? Honestly I'd consider running new wires from the head unit to the speaker locations because whatever all else is going on there seems a bit dubious and I'd hate to rely on the last guy's attempt at integration with whatever the original factory setup was. If you don't own a DMM you can probably buy one at Harbor Freight or a big box store for 10$ or so that can confirm your ground to the amp is sound and that you have +12 to the power and +12 to the acc when your head unit powers up.
