Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Hi chaps! Thought I'd ask this here as no one replied to it on the ice forum.
I finally got my sony stereo powering up in my new 1992 rev2 n/a but I get no sound
The car has the active system but I don't know where the amp is located in the car. Anyone know where this is? I want to check it's still working. I know where the subs are - behind the seats but the amp eludes me.
Thanks for the help.
yeah i've wondered the same too
I fresh wired my replacement CD player to my door speakers only, for the time being coz i couldn't get my head round the active wiring arrangement, even after studying wiring diagrams on here.
Yeah you can get £30 connectors but they aint no good if you've just got a cheap £50 CD/radio player without the other aux outputs needed.
Mind you, i've still got a wierd problem with my audio now...
It's wired using the +12v and ground from the original loom and i've run 2 new pairs of speaker wires to the door speakers (removed original wiring from them speakers) but if i switch CD player on while car is running, power works to it but no audio comes out! If i switch player on without engine on it all works and still does when starting up and running but only if i do it in that order!!
WTF is it all about?
The amp for one of the subs (if 2 are fitted) is in the cubby, the amp subs have L and R on them. The amp for the active speakers (and the other sub) is next to the seatbelt reel behind the plastic cover under the window, passenger side.
