Had radio nicked, and have been left with a mess of wires. The active speaker wiring block seems to not work, and it looks like someone previously wired up the speakers to a standard block..... I've got 4 pairs of wires which are connected to the speakers, which i've worked out.
There is 4 more wires which are....
Red - 12V switched?
Green - 12V permenant?
Blue - I think this is ground?
Black - Was taped up not sure what this is?
Problem is that i wire them up to the radio and It doesnt power, you can hear a soft pop come from the sub box every time I do this.. I've check several times and can't work out where i'm goin wrong....
Can anyone shed some light on the matter of my wiring?
Thanks in advance

Re: Wiring Problems
I've had a look at the wiring diagrams, and i've had a multimeter on all the wires, I think that the blue wire is the amp power for the sub, and as for the earth wire, i assume that should be the black one. However it doesn't seem to want to work... I've checked it and its as if its not connected to anything!! :-S
Re: Wiring Problems
Ok problems solved....
The original wiring block was completely Inactive....
The blue wire was the power to the Amplifier
The black wire didnt seem to do anything, so i've wired myself a brand new earth, and hey presto works perfectly, the active speakers even work...
I'm well chuffed it sounds wikkid :D:D

Nice one Goldy, you've managed to start and finish a thread on your own, with no-one else in the middle!!

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.
