Help with premium sound system
Hey guys i just got my new HU today and i put the harness together, put it in the truck and there is no sound. All the functions work except the most important part, the sound! The harness is one i got from best buy its a metra 70-5600. this harness is for the vehicles with premium sound systems. Is there something i was supposed to connect for the amp or something... i really need your help! Thanks.

You dont have sound because your speakers are plugged into the amp and the amp is not turned on. If your wire harness for the new headunit came with an amp turn on, you need to attach that to the amp turn on wire on the stock wire harnesst. As long as your new HU doesnt put out more then 35W it will work with no problems. If it puts out more then that, then you are supposed to by pass the amp by unplugging the inputs going to the amp and tieing them in with the outputs to the speakers coming from the amp.

This sounds like my 1st car, i had a 93 ford probe and it had a factory amp...well i got a harness and nothing worked....so i took it back and ghetto rigged it...got a wiring diagram and found out what wire went to the amp....Put the ignition wire to the amp so it turned on when the key was on and then found out what wires went to what....so you probably need to get a diagram and find out what wire is what....Or take a picture of what your stock head unit and your plug ins look like so someone with that set up can tell you
