installing new stereo

mtang98 gt · Mar 7, 2012

I took a second look and those red and black wire and the don't come frm the lvt it comes from IDK?? I Followed it from the amp to a wire harness that has to be factory could it be from the stock amp?? What do those wires do? Are they oem speaker wires that he used for the front speakers??

these are the red and black wires im talking about

one more time - disconnect the wire that is going to the amps terminal labeled remote turn on. Now turn the radio on, and take a loop or small piece of wire and connect from the +12v constant to the remote wire terminal on the amp and the amp should turn on and play normally.

If that does fix the problem then you will again need to find the factory wire that you connected your remote turn on too, or run another wire right next to the rca's.

I have to say its getting a little old repeating myself on this as its not the first time... If you had just paid the $3 for the wire and ran it at the same time as suggested then this would have all been finished by now so to have to keep going over it to correct what could have been fixed.

Ttocs thank you for you your time I really appreciate it. I took the lvt off and ran the wire directly to the amp and it turned on fine. But the problem of the rear speakers acting like subs still exists. I adjusted the sub woofer volume and the rear speakers reacted to the change in volume. Could this be becuase the stereo I have only has 2 pre outs and im tryning to run 2 sets of rca cables all four ends plug into the back of the stereo but is it possible that one of the pre outs if for speakers and one for a sub?????? I have no idea what's going on once agian thank you all for you time I wouldn't have been able to even do this without your help I really appreciate it

Here agian is a link to my stereo.

For number of pre-outs it says 1 front, 1 rear, sub out

yes that is why you are only geting bass but it is easy to fix. All you need is a set of rca Y-splitters and you will be fine. Only bad point is that you will not be able to fade from front to rear but otherwise it will work.

The rear preamp output aka RCA is switchable between sub and full range. It sounds like somehow you have it set to be a sub out instead of a full range output. Go into your audio settings and turn the low pass filter off in the deck and it should be fine. If not check your settings on your amp. Make sure your crossover for the rear channels of the amp are set to full range. This will give you the normal sound back to your rear speakers.

Also you need to pull that LVT out and run a new remote turn on wire from the head unit to the amp. As for the antenna issue, your ground is not properly grounded and it reacting to the antenna because it too grounds out the stereo (Pioneer, Alpine, Eclipse, JVC and several other manufacturers head units wont even turn on without the antenna plugged in as they use it for a ground as well)
