[QUOTE="Weeksy, post: 8833214, member: 688396"] Alright, just got back inside, no luck. Wasn't able to get the speakers working, but made some discoveries which may lead to a solution. Safe to say the wiring done by the previous owner is an absolute **** show, as you can see bellow. [ATTACH type="full"]47952[/ATTACH] I discovered that each of the factory speakers has the OEM speakers wires, the coloured ones as pictured above. Along with this, two aftermarket speaker wires are connected to the terminal connector (twisted together) to the head unit. I assumed that I this would the the solution to the issue, however, I tried running the speakers with just the OEM wires, just the aftermarket wires and a combination of the two (as it was originally), but still no luck. As hispls mentioned the next thing I'm going to try is isolating the head unit outside the car whether that be my brothers car or otherwise.
