Jeep w/ avic-N3 No Audio

Hey im in a little jam,
05 jeep liberty
avic-n3
kicker amp,subs and spl cap.

installed everything at once, and everything on the avic-n3
is running and playing, but no audio whats so ever.
the amps not turning on either, as well as the capacitor.

any ideas.... Thanks so much,

ps. the options to adjust the bass,spl,and treble are disabled as well.
and i grounded the green parking brake, did not hook up the speed sensor wire or the reverse wire and i fliped the switch on the back of the head unit.

With the video bypass, for one, you do not need to ground the parking brake wire. Also, the bass & treble won't work if you have the EQ-EX feature turned on. Then, did you test for +12v at the amp? Use a meter and determine if you have voltage at the +12v batt. and remote terminals. If not, follow the wiring back to the source of the problem (bad connector, blown fuse, etc.)

time is bending.....

Thank you, will do-

oh, but if the amp is not coming on, would that cause the factory speakers not to work then. the factory speakers are not hooked up to the amp, just the subs.

thanks

I just pulled up the audio system wiring for that car, do you have the base or premium sound system

I think so,but im not 100% sure.
it has the steering wheel controls, it had a 6disc cd player. typically chryslers have infinity speakers and it says it on the grill of the speakers but mine dont say it.

there was an additional set of wires that were hooked up to the 6 disc cd player. that is currently not hooked to anything. i think it was like 5-8wires, the harness was half the size as the main (typical one).

does this sound like the wiring discribed you pulled up?
you have a picture you can email me?

Thanks

test and see if the remote turn on wire on the n3 is actually putting out 12volts.  I had a few that are just dead from the factory.  Also did you use the remote wire to turn on the factory amp?  The liberty has the amps in each front door I believe in case you are looking to bypass them.

that was my problem, when i took the blue/white wire remote from the n3 i hooked it up to the remote wire to the amp and thats it (which worked for my past two cars), completely disreguarding the blue/white on the factory harness.

but now i have the factory speakers working with NO Subs!
=(

when i hooked up the battery for the first time after correcting the remote.
The capacitor light up for the first time after I charged it. it read 9.4 - 10.1 never reached 12+volts (the N-3 on display says its geting 13.4volts).

And so now the subs are not playing audio.
You think the cap is blown?
Fuses are good.
I need to double check the remote line to the amp
because i had to rig the connection with tap on the terminal, because they shipped me one with outa screw for the hole.

One other thing. I mounted the ground wire (three spots) on a seat bracket that has a bolt and painted black and then under the carpet near the bolt which is painted the jeep color, and then on a seat stand, that fold down a little bit when the seat folds down this is connected to the bottom of jeep.

Is this ground good enough ?


Thanks so much, im so close to completing this installation =)

Probably not.  IT's got to be grounded to a paint free spot on the car.  Grab a meter and put one probe on the ground terminal and the other terminal at the ground of the cig lighter.  Set the meter to resistance.  The reading should be less that 1 ohm.  If it's not then there's your problem.
