I bought a new headunit so I could run my iPod without a fm trans. I've got all the wires matched up and connected, and the unit turns on, but my speakers don't? Also, Theres a blue wire with a white stripe with nowhere to plug into. Can anyone give me advice on where to start? Fuses are good, unit works so I can assume I've spliced everything together correctly.
I've got a 94 ex with the premium sound package. I'll try to add pics in awhile.

Did you Bypass the factory amp?

If you didn't the blue wire is usually the amp turn on and you need to hook it up so it turns on the amp.
 






Does the factory amp power the door speakers as well?
 


















Sure does and I'm pretty sure the factory amp turn on wire is Blue also.

So should I just connect that with the other remote wire?
 


















Yep and you should have sound.:thumbsup:

Thanks a lot, really. I sold my project car so my system upgrade is kindnof to keep myself happy. Haha

@tsantsa, I didn't see what you posted before the edit, it's all good. :cool:
