so did you hook a aftermarket HU to a factory amp in the truck? If so you may have damaged the factory amp in the truck I would think the wires on the back of the factory Hu are signal wires only putting out a couple volts and you drove more to the amps input then it could take and it was not going to get any louder as you increased the volume because the speaker will only get as loud as the amp it's hooked to (only a guess as the factory set-up is now not working)

well after researching i read that the factory amp is in the radio that powers all the door speakers......and that there is a factory amp that only pushes the factory 8 inch sub in the back.....but when i started to hook up the aftermarket radio i only connected the front left channel to make sure it works....and it did untill i turned it up...and now i hooked it all back up(factory radio) and its acting fukin weird........
