I tried to hook it up a min. ago. hooked the ground and hot wire up..and i could hear it runnin then it died out...and i unhooked it..went to hook it back and it didnt do anything...Now the orange wire in my 86 Iroc is the hot wire correct and the black one is the ground correct?

Did i blow a fuse or something...I dont know **** about this stuff guys need a lil help.

thanky

 

did you by any chance forget to hook up the remote wire?? --small blue wire comming from the bacl of the stereo-- make sure the ground is GOOD, scrape all paint away from the sirface in which you are grounding the amp to.

 

It says thats my Power Antenna.


Thanky

Jensen

 

theres a slid blue, and a blue with a white stripe, ...blue and white is antenna. solid blue is remote .

 

Are you sure bud?

Because it says atenna on the back of the rec. and thats the only blue at all on the wiring harness.


Thanks for the help man.

Jensen

 

im positive, there are two blue wires, one with a white stripe, the blue with white stripe is the remote.

i got those two backwards in the previous pst, sorry about that . but yes, im 110% positive. blue and white stripe is the remote wire.

if it has a power antenna wire it WILL have a remote wire ,pull the stereo out the dash and look at the harness real well

 

I to have a Jensen. I only have 1 blue wire which is either the amp turn on or remote antenna. However even if this wire wasn't hooked up your cd player should still work. Also the red wire is your power when car is on. The orange is your power all the time for memory and your clock. The black is the ground and if you use the factory ground it should be good because its grounded to the chasis. It should work with the Red/Black hooked up regardless of the others. If not check the fuses that should be housed in a black box on the red"lead" wire. If there blown you might have found your problem. Hope this helps.

 

...are you hooking up an amplifier or a reciever/cd player

 

reciever/cd player

 

some aftermarket cd players only have one wire can they call it the atenna wire (blue with a white strip) you can use the for the amp. if you have a power atenna and you only have the blue and white wire and not a soild blue then you can tap both into the single wire.

 

from the back of the aftermarket radio, the wires are as follows:

black-ground
yellow-constant 12V
red-accesory
blue,blue/white-remote turnon and pwr ant
green, purple, white, and grey-speaker wires
orange, orange/white-dont hook them up, they are the dimmer/illumination and dont effect much.

if you dont have the factory harness adapter, i can give you the colors from the car too if youd like.

It would be killer if u could give me the wires from the car's harness also...Don't wanna tare into the dash if i dont have too.

 

is this cd player fairly new?? they make direct plug n play harnesses now where y literally dont have to cut n splice anything at all...it plgs staight from the factory harnes into the cd player. call best bu and ask them if they have any. or all yor local stereo shop

 

still have to splice in the remote wire if your installing an amp :-D

 

--smack-- lol , if yo can hook up an amp..theres no need for worrying abotu splicing into a single blue wire lmao

 

what are you talking about? you have to for the remote wire.....

 

i know, what im saying is, if you have the ability to hook up an amp / wire it. you shouldnt worry about having to hook up a remote wire, because you know wtf you are doing. i didnt mean you didn have to hook up the remote wire. lol

 

if you can hook up to memphis 1000D's as one mono amp that a little old remote wire is nothing. i can't wait till my system gets paid for LoL

 

easy to hook up to one ohm, its affording the amp thats one ohm stable thats difficult. heh

 

my buddy owns a memphis car audio shop so i can get stuff cheap :-D

 

i wish i could find an OLD lanzar 50c or 2100 ....something along those lines....--droooools--

i had a US Amp that was one ohm stable, and rated at 25 watts and pushed 500...i made 4 of the crappiest 12s beat so hard, ive never seen 40 dollar speakers thump like that in my life...they were kove audio speakers ...man those things sucked lmao
