[QUOTE="GomerPyle, post: 8881585, member: 692154"] Update real quick (maybe not real quick) I jumped in the back and looked at the 1 panel I had off for another repair. I have to preface.... the sound coming from the speakers is EXACTLY the same as what it is now. Flat and "old small radio" quality Now that being said... It looks like a little mouse family chewed some insulation on the wires, but I'm certain that's not my sound issue, HOWEVER..... There was NO black speaker wire in to the rear speaker there. So I literally have ZERO clue what is happening here because the speakers have sound and are not connected to the 4 black speaker wires in the pics from the dash. Also.... WTF. I think the shop just kept the speakers I bought lol (see original post for details with saying I needed an AMP, etc..) I will have the doors off eventually and will update, but I'm 99% sure this shop scammed me. My problem, I know. My plan from here.... I just purchased a factory Pioneer harness specific to my unit Will be here next week. Im going take the new factory harness, Metra harness, RCA harness and splice together here at the table as I should...... So in theory I only have to worry about 8 wires remaining? Take it out and seek the speaker wire they put in and replace the old, and splice it correctly with the RCA. I may be back for questions (undoubtedly) But this shit is sort of crazy and I'm half debating leaving it.... but I'm a stubborn man. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
