Hey guys...I am doing a full system, 4x 6.5 components, 2x 12" subs, 2 amps and Alpine head unit.
However, it's being done in stages!
Yesterday I installed the 2 amps and the head unit. All wired.
I ran the amps speakers wires to the factory harness in the dash board. A guy with an install shop with an Escalade told me he did the same thing to avoid the hassle of running new wires into the 4 doors.
So keep in mind, I would then simply remove the factory door speakers and install my new 6.5 components when they arrive. I don't own any subs yet...gonna wait until the speakers are in the doors and then try out various boxes until I like one!
The new stereo and amps work great, however, the factory sub and the two factory speakers in the very rear pilars are still on. Why is this?
Here's my problem....system was working great...then I started the truck and now there is no sound. I left everything as is, and I took an old speaker and touched the wires to the sub amp (no sub hooked up yet!) and there was sound, and I also touched the wires to the 4ch amp and got sound too from each channel.
So sometimes if I shut the truck off and remove the key, then start it up again, I get sound.
Please someone tell me what is happening here!! If I remove the 4 door speakers and hook up new ones, will those rear pilar speakers and stock sub still be on? What do I need to do?!
Thanks
edit...let me add, this is an 02 Tahoe!
