OK, I got the head unit to function. It was just that blue power antenna
wire that I did'nt connect because I don't have a power antenna. But now it
works great! Even makes the factory speakers sound alot better. I tried to
bypass that amp but I can't get the damn thing out of there! So now I'm to
the point of installing my MB Quart components in the front doors and I have
another problem. I was expecting to plug in the factory speaker wire into
the crossover and then the tweeter and midrange into the crossover and be
done with it. Except there are completly seperate wires going to the
tweeter and another set going to the midrange and no sign of a factory
crossover. What should I do here?
