I believe the last time that I did it I found them in the kick panels, one in the drivers one in the kick.
Follow the wires out of the hrns and see if you can trace them to a point where the grounds will split. Normally when I try to seperate the grounds I will look for an hour or so. After that you could have already run wire to each speaker and fixed it. The dash speakers only take 5 mins each to run a set of wires from the speakers to the deck. IF you pull the molding along the seats out you can run wire to each of the rear speakers in 15-20 mins.

So I've used the search tool and still havent come up with anything. I recently took my vert to get the headunit checked out cause when its hooked up, it wont play anysound. When I took it there they said that the wiring has a "looping ground" on it, and in order for the CD player to work they have to re-wire the car. So i ask if there is any way I can hook it up without payin 200 to hack my car up. any help is appriciated
thanks

Tell the audio guys at the shop its a Ground Loop not a looping ground and second if that is the diagnosis that he gave you he has no clue. When a ground loop occurs in an audio system you will hear noise come through the lines. It is caused from grounding your system to different points and they feed off each other causing noise. That doesn't seem to be your problem. Now checking the ground point to which your system is wired to is good to rule out but a couple other things before you go dismantling everything. I am assuming you had this working at one time?
So lets try to fix this for ya... Do the oh I'm dumb test first..lol
1. Is the mute option on the radio on?
2. Have I checked all my fuses?
3. Did I try a different CD and the tuner?
4. Is everything from my amp plugged in?
5. Is my deck settings on the same output?

1. Sometimes it says protect cause the left front speakers is messed up. but when it says its playing there's no sound coming out of any. I checked the mute and its off
2. All the fuses on the radio and in the car are good
3. Tried about 3-4 cds and 3 different radio stations. Also tried the iPod hookup and that didn't work either
4. I just hooked up the wires the diagram told me to hook up. So i'm not sure
5. I have all the settings to the factory default, tried screwing with the settings but nothing happend
