Please help me with my After Market HU
Im am so frustrated. Cant get my HU to work. Here is exactly what I did.
1. Removed dash.
2. Removed factory stereo
3. Installed HU with wiring harness (no chime. too expensive)
4. turned car on.
5. stereo no power.
6. re installed factory hu
7. factory hu works fine and dandy
I think I have the wrong wiring harness. I have an 02 monte. There is one big harness and one two wire baby harness. I found a wiring harness to match the big one. thought the baby one was for the chime adapter so i left it alone. I guess I still have the wrong harness. Some one please help? If you installed a hu without the chime, how did you do it. Am i missing a step in installation? What wiring harness do you guys that chose to pass on the chime use? I was so excited about my new stereo and now i cant use it. I usually can do a stereo in an hour. I was working this for four hours. i gave up when my eyes couldnt take wotking in the dark with just my dome lamp anymore. I hope someone can give me an answr before i get off work tomorrow. thanks in advance for anything you might offer.

figured it out. guy at the store had told me that the amp wire was sirius radio wire. now that i connected it all systems go. But, my after market speakers sound the same as my factory ones did. I dont get it.. my speakers are 250 watts max. they should be beter. i guess. right?
