[QUOTE="joex444, post: 3956980, member: 584993"] Maybe it's a blow fuse, but we have two head units that are having this same problem. I did check the fuses before we bought the second unit, they looked okay. Is there any other fuses besides the ones on the head unit here? I'm not trying to be a noob, like I said I got one CD player to work in my car, and I got that CD player to work in the Eclipse before my friend got new speakers (the old speakers were blown, so he decided to sell the cd player to me and buy some speakers then get another head unit later). I didn't have any trouble getting that CD player to work fine in my car, and to get it to turn on in the Eclipse. This head unit is different somehow. Is it possible to blow a fuse in the fuse box? I'm not even sure which circuit that fuse would control if I did. I am aware you ground before plugging in the harness, just the same as you do installing a car battery or jumping a car. Now, the fuses would certainly stop the head unit from turning on, so that's definetly something to check tomorrow. I did see that thing at wal-mart. Perhaps someone knows for sure, but the factory amp, if I were to integrate it instead of bypass, is expecting pre-outs, correct? So I can just take that DIN to 4 RCA + AMP turn on cable and run it into the pre-outs (Sony unit has 3 pre-outs, Front/Rear/Sub). The adapter that you linked is taking the speaker outputs from the head unit amp and turning them into RCA, correct? So plugging those into the DIN adapter would give an amplified signal to the amp, which if its expecting line level inputs should either blow up or start clipping. On the other hand, if the amp expects pre-amplified inputs, then giving it line level inputs will produce no sound....which it did. Maybe bypassing is the easier thing to do, can definetly run some speaker wires under the seat. [/QUOTE]
