Default No sound out of speakers

My stock radio didnt work, it would light up like it should and display the radio station but I wouldnt get any sound, so I installed a cd player, same thing no sound, not even when I put in a cd, no static, no sound at all, checked the fuse its good, and yes the volume is turned up lol. So whats the problem?

Did you make sure the wires are connected to the speakers?

The problem is that you didn't bypass the stock speaker amplifier. You need to purchase the correct wiring harnesses for your radio & the car, or connect your speaker output wires directly to the output side of the amplifier wiring.

Find the wiring colors listed below in your harness and connect the speakers as they should be.

White/Light Green is the + wire for right front door & dash.
Dark Green/Orange is the - wire for right front door & dash.

Dark Green/Orange is the - wire for the right rear.
Pink/Light Blue is the + wire for the right rear.

Pink/Light Blue is the + wire for the left rear.
Pink/Light Green is the - wire for the left rear.

Light Blue/White is the + wire for the front left door & dash.
Orange/Light Green is the - wire for the front left door & dash.

Touching any of the paired wire colors against the posts of a 9v battery should produce some light popping noises of the speaker you're testing.
