I've had my Kenwood head unit for nearly a year. It's now in it's second car. In the first car everything worked perfectly. Once i put it in my new car, a 1990 Ford Probe, the CD player stopped working. The tuner works fine, and it is reading the CDs but there is no output. Also, I recently got a new sub installed and sound from the CD player will go to the sub, but not the door speakers. WTF? Any help would be great. I'm kinda a moron when it comes this stuff. Thanks.

That's a common wiring mistake. You used the wrong blue wire for remote turn on. Use the blue/white wire. Your situation is that one amp has the remote turn on wire correct and the other amp is using the power antenna wire :)

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Sounds like the ant turn on lead is going to the factory turn on lead. What you need to do is hook the remote turn on lead to the car's lead.

Thanks for all the help. I fixed the problem, and now I can get back to pissing people off at red lights by cranking up gangsta rap.
