Johannes: The sound is coming out of the front speakers only, which are powered by the radio itself. The two back speakers (amplifier powered) are producing no sound at all even with a new and supposedly working amp. Could this still be the case? I would hate to get a new head unit and then have it be the wiring that was at fault. Dave: all fuses have been checked multiple times by myself and several other people more qualified than I. Just in case, I'm going out to the car to check again. Nasty Bob: When you replaced your system did you have to bypass the factory amplifier? If so, how did you do it and what would you rate the difficulty as? I'm eyeing getting a new system from Crutchfield.com due to their awesome support, but I'm wary of the amp. I've heard from somewhere that bypassing amps can be tricky and I'm not sure my wiring/electronics skills are up to the challenge.
