I have no idea where you got that info from myself
i just checked for a ground at that location and there is none..... if thats not it.. where is it?
HOWEVER, i did notice that the prior owner did this:
It looks like he piggied 4 wires off that harness right there... what the heck is this??? should i further inspect it!?!
Also, What fuses should i check? I have a light indicator fuse tester i can use.
thanks for your help.
for any other amp I would confirm there is an input, power, and then confirm there is an output. All the ways I normally do this though are not really an option here since the ways I normally connect to do this is not really available.
Do you have a multi-meter and know how to use it to test speakers/test impedance(ohms)? That 8 pin hrns that I had you find next to the radio - one side goes to the speakers, the other side to the amps. We can disconnect those hrns's and test the impedance(ohms) at that hrns to confirm you speakers are good. If you have a small bookshelf speaker we could also test the amps output there as well.
ok so the speakers test good so now we need to figure out if its the out put of the deck, the cables or the amp. by chance do you have one of those headphone to rca cables? We need to use a different audio source at the input too see if the decks output is bad. The easiest way is to take an ipod/mp3 player with a headphone to RCA cable and plug it in behind the deck as the new audio source. with neither the front nor the rear speakers playing it would be more understandable that the decks output, or a cable going to the amps is bad causing both to not play.
Also now do we have the amp turn on(factory hrns) connected to the ignition wire or to the decks amp/remote turn on? I was not sure how we left it after testing it to ensure it had power on it.
okay, im on page 11 i see what you mean. i dont think my headunit is setup properly at all.

what do i select for each option?
I think we have found it. Like I said above it looks like you have the rca's set up to send a high pass signal to the amps. High-pass means that the filter/cross over allows only the higher freqs(for tweeters) pass though it. When that goes to the amps the amps are set up to send a low-pass signal to the subs so when it goes through its filter you have now taken all the high, and the low freqs out of the signal by the filters. On top of that the subwoofer listed as V-off I think means you have the output turned off.
Unfortunatly in the 15 years I installed I never sold kenwood and I know their menus/eq settings take some getting use to honestly. What I can tell you is that messing with the cross over settings should not hurt anything in the deck or after it.
Try setting the outputs to a low-pass filter(LPF) and also see if messing with the subs settings change anything. you only have 2 rca cables to hook up to the deck so make sure if you adjust the subwoofer that you have the rca's plugged into the sub rca but play with those and see if you get some noise out of it. Bet you do..
disconnect the speaker hrns that powers the tweeters and see if you are getting ANY sound of of it. if you can just try and turn off all the cross over functions so it plays full range.
