Alright... I recently dug up my old CD player out of my closet and decided to see if it would work. It's a Panasonic CQ-C8300U. Soooo I hooked up ground, constant and stuck the ACC wire into the fuse box to see if it powers up. Everything powered up, good to roll. I know that the channel for the sub and the int speakers was blown so I decided to hook up headphones to the front and rear pre-outs to see if they got anything. I stuck a CD in and i got music from both front and rear pre-outs. So everything is good right? Yeah not so much...
I wired all the speakers to an external amp and hooked up the channels to the pre outs on the headunit. I'm 95% sure that all my wiring is correct, but I didn't have enough wire to use several colors, so I used all black. The wires may be switched up, but that's something I'm gonna have to tackle this weekend.
Okay, now the problem. I start up the car, everything powers on, I put a CD in and nothing plays. I can see the timer counting up, but no music. I switch to 98.1 FM (only station i can pick up with a shaved antenna) and I get sound out of the rear speakers only.
I just don't know how a CD will play when you hook headphones up, but not when it's hooked to the amp, and then the radio plays only out the rear speakers?? I understand there's a lot of variables that I have yet to check out yet (wiring/amp issues), I'm just trying to get y'alls opinions. Maybe y'all will come up with something I haven't thought of yet.
Any input is welcome positive or negative.
