[QUOTE="blownspeaker, post: 8679612, member: 677525"] Yes, its all stock except for the head unit that was installed previously but wasn't working right. Which we found out it was because of loose connections. So for the speakers there are 4 speakers in the front - 2 on each door, one up top and one down below on the car door then there are 2 in the back by the rear windows. 2 amps in the trunk, These 2 amps have 2 connections and only 1 on both amps were connected. So I did connect both connections on the 2 amps and it didn't change anything. I also tried to swap them to see if one works and one doesn't - also I did remove both and it did nothing to the sound. I checked the amp ground and re connected it and that too did nothing to turn them on. SO as of now, there are 2 speakers not on - the 2 bottom ones on the door - which either is because a amp isn't powering them? or the harness connection isn't correctly wired to make them turn on with the amps is my guess. I am now trying to figure out what color is the amp. I found this info online which may help fix this - "- Combine all grounds from the Metra harnesses to the ground on your radio’s wiring harness. -edit: which we did - Combine the amp turn-on with the ignition-on power on your radio’s wiring harness. " I think this is what I need to check is done on the harness and also try it out and see if it works. I am now trying to just find out what colors are what. The writing on the wires are gone.
