[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7859089, member: 576029"] The factory amp plays a key role. it needs to get a turn-on signal to function. Assuming the head unit wires feed signals to the amp which powers the speakers (typical). Before you began, you should have gotten a wiring diagram of the audio system so you knew the routing. Most likely, you haven't given the factory amp power or turn-on, and that is why you didn't have sound. Even if the factory amp fed through the HU harness, you would have twice as many wires there and you would only connect to half of them. [/QUOTE]
