[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8885929, member: 682903"] I would not connect the red ACC wire to the blue/white Remote wire, but you can do whatever you feel like doing. With the radio powered on it is unlikely to damage anything being they are both 12v+ potential, but with the radio off I’m not certain if feeding 12V to the remote could damage the circuit or not. I see no reason to do it though, every wire has a specific purpose. Bench testing is where I would be at with it to rule everything else out: Yellow wire to battery constant 12v+ Red wire to same battery 12v+ Black to battery battery negative. Radio will power on fully at this point. Then use a cheap full range speaker from 2 ohm to 8 ohm or so, old car 6x9 speaker or house speaker doesn’t really matter other than you want full range, and connect it at the decks pigtail harness at the back of it, to the passenger rear and confirm the audio is okay, unhook it and test the other 3 channel one by one. Make sure any filters, high pass or low pass are off in the audio settings menu, and that the fader / position is in the middle for all speakers. That deck does have filtering and make sure it is set to 2-WAY to send full sound to all 4 speakers. Other than that hopefully the others can offer better insight on what to check. Without any of us there, it makes it a bit more difficult to understand what is wrong, but give some time for others to reply. Lastly, it might not be a bad idea to take it to a car audio shop for diagnosing it. Might cost some money, but save the headache. Some screenshots of the crossover stuff and such in the manual, and the last one that the deck apparently supports running active, so can use 2 channels to power mids, and the other two for tweeters, so make sure it is set to [B]2-way[/B], you don't want 3-way unless running components. There are other pages of course with important info, but it shows that deck does have a lot of settings to mess with.
