Ok...good....and I'm assuming the RCA's are plugged into the PAC harness? Also....what amp are you using? Does it have a built in crossover? did you set all the gains? and amp settings?

Ok, so if its a 4 channel amp, i'm also assuming you have 2 pairs of RCA's going from the PAC harness from behind the radio to the amp? The 2 pairs will be the front and rear (left and right)

What is the cross over set at? Basically if you have power to the amp, and music signal to the amp...then the amp will "amplify" that signal and send it to the speakers. How is the amp sending the music to the speakers? where is the amplified signal tieing back into the speakers?

Basically when i used to install, and i had to troible shoot, id's start at the front and work back. So in your case...you need to make sure your even getting music signal through the RCA's to the amp. You can do this by getting a cheap earphone, and stripping the wires, and conecting that earphone to the RCA's one earphone wire will go to the center of the RCA and the other wire to the outer shield....if there is a signal, you will hear music through the earphone speaker. If you get music then you know its all good till the amp.

There appear to be adjustable dials on the PAC harness. Should I mess with them?
