Hi there,
Im helping a friend install a stereo in a car.
Vehicle is a 95 Dodge Dakota, it had a Infinty stereo in, took it out put in a cd player. The Infinity worked fine with the speakers.
After installing the stereo and checking (and double and tripple) checking the wiring, the stereo is only get sound out the front two speakers, and that sound is, very low and tinny.. kind of like if you were listerning to it through headphones, thats the best way to describe it.
Any ideas on the cause of it?
Thanks for all your help.
My philosophy is: you don't want to try to marry in to OEM systems, especially Infinity or Bose. You just replaced the deck; the rest of that system is dependent on the original deck. Change everything to aftermarket...period.
But someone might give you a cheaper and simpler solution, so hang in there.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
this is an easy one.... u probably need to power up the factory remote turn-on wire for that system... i remember some of these even having an additional ground for the factory amps as well... this just needs to be grounded.... 1 question though.... did u use a harness or hardwire????

there can be only one.......
Harness... I wired everything across as I was supposed to and I came across what looked like TWO ground wires... one was the braded cable and one was BLACK/ green I think.
haha fixed it the blue cable which on the harness says "power antenna" and the blue wire from the dodge were not wired.
thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
ur welcome...

Did u hook the plain blue wire from the deck or the blue/white wire. the solid blue wire won't send voltage when you switch to CD. you might want to check that! it's only a power antenna wire like you said, and when you're sourced to CD, the antenna doesn't need to be up, so its cuts voltage. the blue/white wire always sends power. or atleast it should!
