[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8860346, member: 674149"] I missed that it's just for the speakers, that's a little less worrying. Is that electrical cord they used? You have red, yellow, and orange wires going to not yellow red and orange. Yellow is generally 12v batt+ Red is generally accessory Orange is generally illumination. My guess is you have 12v power to the wrong one. It's getting enough current to turn it on, through the other wire, but once you turn it up the volume it's trying to draw more than the, not supposed to be power wire, can supply. It looks like those wires aren't connected to where they should be. The main two that NEED to be right, are batt + and accessory. If you have a test light you can check em both on the vehicle, and verify the head unit. If you connect those two correctly, it should fix the head unit's power issue. [/QUOTE]
