[QUOTE="DarkFox, post: 3956929, member: 567531"] No offense, but seance your novice at this I would almost lay money on you have blown a fuse durring install. Everyone seems to miss the simplest step first. Also, you dont NEED to by pass the factory amp, however, you can not simply use the speaker outputs off the new raido to go to the factory system. You either need to bypass it and run the wires from the radio to the speaker locations OR get a adjustable line level converter between the new radios speaker outs, and the wirring harness adapters labeled speaker leads. something like this : [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4993_Scosche+SLC-4.html"]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4993_Scosche+SLC-4.html[/URL] will do the job nicely (yes there are much better alternatives, but heck, your using a wallmart radio, and they have these adapters at wallmart. So replace fuse (probably under dash) Figure out if your gonna run speaker wire yourself, or install a converter Execute plan listen to music [/QUOTE]
