hey all,

i have just installed a poineer deck into my 1988 mustang, the deck turns on and works but i can not get any sound through my speakers. I have all the wires attached correctly (i have triple checked) and i used a wire harness made for the car and i am out of ideas. Just earlier today with the stock deck i had sound coming out of all speakers. I could use all the help i could get.

Thanks

Stuart

 

your car should have a factory amp.Did you hook the amp turn on wire up?

 

I just purchaed an 89 gt convt. How do you know if you have a factory amp? Where is it located? I dont think I do, but I am unsure. Can anyone help me on the location, and also if my car has one. Thanks, Landon.

 

its under the pass seat or behind the radio.^

 

It isnt under the passenger seat, and I dont think it is behind the factory radio. Does my car for sure have one? Or was it an option back in 89? Or was it standard? Thanks, Landon.

 

I think it was standard mine was behind the radio my buddys 93 was under the seat.I havent seen one yet to not have a amp but anything is possible.

 

What color wire in the harness is the amp? Does anyone know?

 

Here you go biglg.It has 2 plugs one is power and other is the speakers.

I still havent got my car back from the shop. So I cant look at the wiring. But I have my wiring harness, and my new head unit. I have looked at wiring diagrams, and have a few questions. Again, I have an 89 gt convt with 6 speakers.

1. First, the HU harness, do I need to connect blue/white amp wire?
2. Secondly, do I need to connect the red and yelow together, or keep them seperate?
3. There are 3 orange wires on my wiring harness that plugs into the factory harness. So, the HU harness wires has an obvious orange/white illumination. The other harness that goes into the factory has 3 orange. It has orange/black says dimmer ground, it has an orange that says illumination dash, it has a orange/white that says dimmer. Which one of the orange wires do I connect to my HU orange/white wire? You would think the orange/white that says dimmer, just to match the color. But the diagram I have says do not use this wire. So do I use the orange, and connect it to the orange/white hu illumination wire?
4. Lastly, HU has 4 sets of speakers wires, how do I wire this since my car has 6?

Again, I dont have my car, and even if I did I might still be lost. I am trying to figure this out, and get all the wiring together I can before I get into the car. Please help me someone, anyone, everyone. Thanks, Landon.
