OK I bought a cd player off ebay for $200... When I received it, it did not power up when I connected the wires... I just want to know if my wiring is incorrect or did this mofo sold me a busted cd player which i cannot return because he won't reply to my email!!! anyways... the kenwood wire diagram are as follow:

Speaker wires were not connected because I was just testing for power...Do I need to connect the speaker wires for it to power up? Probably not...So this thing should be working with these wire connections correct? Busted cd player or miss wiring?
Your wire diagram looks good. But are you sure you are not confusing the constant and antenna trigger. They are both yellow/white. You can test the head unit by taking it out of the car. Wire the constant and switched wire together. Hook the constant/switched to the positive side on the battery. Hook up the ground to the negative side of the battery. If the unit powers up then it works if it doesn’t then you could have a bad head. Also try to check the fuses on the back of the head unit.
yeah i'm pretty sure it's the constant.. I checked it with a voltimeter....hmmm...
The deck should power up if you add 12 volts to the wire in pin # 5 ( Constant ) , pin # 4 ( Ignition ) and add ground to pin # 11. If you did this and nothing is working, check the fuse on the back of the deck like bberman1 said. Otherwise you better give this mofo some bad feedback.... seems that the wiring is OK with me.
