Without knowing what car you have, or what was in there before, I don't know for sure. Did you have sound before? It could be that the factory amp was bypassed (assuming you have one), and the wiring just needs to be spliced back together. The oem radio/amp could be crapped out and in need of replacement. You could try using a test speaker to see if the radio's putting out anything. ------------- My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

this is a 92 929 there was nothing in there before. had the car like that. I dont know if there was sound.
the car still has its harness there is no amp. looks like there was no slicing its just the oem harness.

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.

I had the same problem in my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 when I got it, however there were no speakers. lol. If I was in your situation t-tap into the proper wires and check with a test speaker, they very well could have disconnected the speakers in the doors and the deck and added some kicks, so make sure they are connected. But use the test speaker to figure out if that is the problem or not. If there is no amp, which their shouldn't be in that car, that is going to be the only solution, unless the HU has a bad internal amp. Might want to have it checked out as well, but the best place to start is just like GeepHerder said, use a test speaker, and just t-tap into the wires out of the factory harness, and run a wires to the speaker, if that works you just ruled out a few things, if it doesn't you ruled out other things. If nothing works and you have the HU tested out and it works fine, lol then that might be the reason you bought the car with no HU ha ha. But good luck!
