(Sorry, I had to ask.) There should be a green wire to the amplifier that goes to 12 volts when the radio is turned on. This is the line that goes to the amplifier turn on stuff and the antenna motor. No 12 volts on the green wire means severe volume issues. I have seen several radio's of the clarion persuasion that for one reason or another just quit putting out that 12 volts. If you should decide to bail out and put in an aftermarket radio, it's not that bad. Just remember that the rear speaker wires don't go to the radio itself. Any radio you install will need to be wired with that in mind. dave
