nunya Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wired the speakers backwards? Blew them out already? Released all the magic blue smoke? Cream the mint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I thought you can't wire speaker terminals backwards; either way will work, reversing the wires just reverses the phase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I hope you didn't lose the smoke! There is a how-to on replacing your radio I think. I forget, but maybe there are stock amps in the truck somewhere designed to work with the stock stereo and now you have two amps hooked up causing problems? Not sure if that makes sense. I would look for that how-to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towncivilian Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The OP must have a Bose system to require an amplifier bypass. The bypass can be done by either running your own wires to the back speakers, or cutting and soldering some wires at the rear amp's wiring harness. I've done the latter and can tell you which wires to connect together based on your year's FSM if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
