Have a Mach 460 sound system and I am getting a new pioneer head unit.



I also got a for link that attaches directly to the stock plugs.



I did all the wiring and tape the wires on the first plug, but the second plug has two blue wires that say "amp turn on" that I don't know what to do with.



With ought them my sound is distorted and my mid subs will not work (stock speakers) it will play music but it is flat. The problem I have is there is not a place to wire, or plug it in to the new system... Help!

 

You running an amp?

 

Just the stock amps.

 

So all you did was replace the head unit?

 

Yes.

 

As long as you wired it right you shouldn't have a problem. Have you tried playing with the audio settings?

 

Yeah I have, and the bass feedback is off till I turn it up to about 45 on the volume (nothing compared to the stock head unit). What should I do with the amp turn on switches?

 

Shouldn't have to use them unless your running an aftermarket among. You sure all your wire colors are matched right?

 

Im not the best with wiring. But the only things that aren't connected are: two orange wires labeled "illumination/dash light", three black and white wires w/o markings. And the two blue "amp turn on" wires

 

But! Everything coming out of the head unit has a buddy.

 

If I remember right. One black is ground. And the other two run to a speaker. You need those. The blue wire and orange wire you don't need.

 

So I should just tie the black wires from the adaptor to the black ground coming from the head unit?

 

Do any of those three wires have a stripe? And did your harness you bought come with a diagram or chart?

 

Wait a second... why do you have an auxiliary cable attached to the head unit if you don't have any after market amps?

 

Yes. All three have a white strip which after some research are the amplifier ground wires. But where should I connect them to ground? I tried connecting it to the ground coming out of the head unit.. Nothing and I just pushe it on part of the metal brakets in the dash... Nothing still.

 

You sure they are the amp ground wires and not the amp positive wires?

 

Clarify? Talk to me like I'm 7 because electric stuff isn't my thing...:/

 

I'm sure. 100%

 

The big white and red cables.. lol

 

Where did you get this info? And check your fuses and make sure you didn't blow the ones for the amps.
