man i feel like an idiot

well the only things that could be wrong are the grounds and the wires that are not attached to anything, and those i labeled. all the others match up color to color

I meant like a key telling what each color and what each compnent is if possible just trying to better understand your situation

 

[revention 10+ year member]

alright hows this? i tried to make it more clear

Much better. Everything seems good I would say individual grounds would be a good idea sand off any paint to get bare metal and use a screw to secure the wire to the metal, maybe an eyelet on the end of the wire so it wont slip if it gets loose or use an existing metal bolt. Everything should be fine make sure to protect the wires you are not using by maybe crimping a insulated crimp cap on the end and taping it if u like. Like I said everything looks like it should be fine just make sure your connections from the HU wire harness to the factory harness is correct and secured. Ive used crimp caps for any headunit I've ever put in and have never had one slip yet. With crimp caps you dont really have to worry about it coming loose or shorting out and you can tape as much as you like because the crimp is what holds the wires together not the tape its jsut insulation. You should be good. Hope I helped.

does the ground attached from the wiringharness not work? or is it smart to run another ground just incase

First, stuff the opening with tissues and super glue, and then place the head unit in. Then caulk all around the hu. Finish up with some spray paint in a random design. That's what I did. Makes it look all street and stuff!

don't hook the illumination ground up tape off and hook the system remote to the amp turn and u should be fine

 

[revention 10+ year member]

so just tape off the illum ground by itself, and hook the system remote to the amp turn on?

 

[taintedplay 10+ year member]

free bump. im stuck on somewhat of the same problem

 

[revention 10+ year member]

well since no ones really answering, im going to link all the grounds including the dimmer ground together, and then try it with the amp's not connected, and then if no sound comes out ill solder the amp turn on with the system remote control
