You probably did not hook up the remote turn on wire to power the factory amp. You need to connect your blue/white wire from your new deck to the white wire in the factory radio harness in the dash. This will get you sound.

Most radios have a -12[v] to +12[v] output for the speakers, and the amp is expecting an output of 0[v] to +12[v], with the signal centered in +6[v].
So, the easy way is to bypass the amp. The alternative is a small circuit to adjust the values. I have some ideas, but I haven't tried anything yet. As soon as I have something, I'll post it.

Cheers,

Jose

If you have the old style radio hookup, you will need to ground the brown wire with the ring connector in the factory harness. On my stock radio it was grounded to the rear of the radio. Like you I had very poor sound until I grounded this wire.
