Audio Guys!
Ok so the Jeep Cherokee Sport I bought a couple weeks ago. Ok so the radio turns on, plays cds, etc, but zero sound. I checked the wires, fuses, etc. All seem good. I've heard of issues with factory amps and bypassing them so I checked where the amp is and nothing is there, but a clump of wires. So I'm assuming they removed the amp and the cut the wires. So wtf is my next option? Im thinking of buying a factory radio and upullandpay and seeing if it works stock, but can the radio and speakers function without the stock amp? I can take pics of all the wiring if needed. I'm not against buying a new cd player, but I rather not blow the cash if thats not the problem obviously. Its a 1998 Sport btw.

At first I thought you were Spanish and parting ways.

Run wires from the radio straight to the speakers. It will use radio power, which prob has more power than that factory amp anyway.

should be a color coded diagram, use that and install a new head unit with a built in amp and run the wires straight to the speakers from that. or buy another factory amp. I doubt the factory hu has a built in amp if its using an external one.

Yeah I ended up cutting out all of the old harnesses and rewired it bypassing the amp totally. Works fine. Thanks. |
