Okay, I purchased a Dual Electronics Head Unit, instead of doing a more logical thing and buying an Adapter Harness. I cut them all. I looked up on several Forums the wiring colors, along with looking at the wires behind said Speakers. Hooked all of it up (Along with the Remote Wire to my AMP) and it all worker EXCEPT for the Drivers Door Speaker.

Thinking that I unknowingly blown the speaker, I bought a couple 6 1/2" Speakers and hooked them up. Nope. Still out. So I went and got a Pioneer Head Unit (Should have done that in the first place) still not working. (I checked the wires 500 times.) (There is a White/Black wire that is not listed in any Forums.)

So I just pinned it on a faulty wire. So I planned on using some spare Speaker wire and rewire it, as I took the wires out of the ButtConnector, I turned the car on to quickly check the Speakers, (The wire I took out was wired to the Speaker on the Drivers Door. Colors matched. Well it cut my Passenger door out.) Even though those Colors were still attached to the Head Unit. So I'm at a complete loss and can't get to the Drivers Door Speaker wires behind the dash because it's wire up nice and tight and out of reach.

Help me out guys. Thanks.

Rewire the door speaker with new wire run it to the deck?

When I tried, I lost my Passenger Door Speaker when I unplugged the Drivers Door. Which is why I'm so lost.

Just start from the basic test wires on the back of the head with new wire when you figure out the wiring just simply run all new wires no if that doesnt work then possibly a bunk headunit

Lol sorry didnt see the part where you bought another unit wow now im stumped...

Urg. With speakers sitting on the floor, wire both up to the back of the deck DIRECTLY. Since you hacked up the harness that should be easy. Do they both work?

Honda Nub

Yes. Both Speakers work. So it is just that wire. I'm still confused on why disconnecting a speaker, affected a totally different speaker.

Not to second guess but I would think your wiring has something to do with it. In the 15+ years I've used adapter harnesses I've never had any issues. If I were you I'd wire back up the stock harness and get one.

I've never understood peoples obsession with cutting the factory harness out of a car.

Lizardslap

well I can tell you why I cut mine they didn't have an adapter when I bought the radio and I wasn't driven it without a radio
I never had a problem as long as I made sure the connections were good and not electrical taped

With all due respect I'd chalk it up to laziness or being impatient. No excuse to butcher a car's wiring no matter how clean it's done. Not when there's other options out there.

Honda Nub

Yeah I was impatient. But my wiring is correct. I think it got damaged. Which I might have done.

You wiring is incorrect. I was a 12volt installer for many years and im still mecp certified. You either have your wires crossed from one speaker to the next or your car is possibly factory amplified and you are shorting out the fact amp. Tell us what kind of car it is and yes you should have purhased a harness and done it the right way. Check out the12volt.com they have wiring information for most cars and they tell yu what they are. You could also get a 9volt battery and touch the wites you think are the speaker wires to the positive and neg terminals on the 9volt battery. Its called pop testing and if you have the correct wires each speaker will pop letting you know which wires go to each speakers.

your wiring might be cut somewhere leading to that speaker, do an ohm test on the wires to see if you have any resistance

Honda Nub

My wiring is correct according to www.the12volt.com and modifiedlife.com I was left with a Solid Red and a Red with Black Stripe Wire, these weren't listed so I assume Illumination/Dimmer, these had a Butt Connector attached seperately and taped off. My wiring is also correct from me
Physically looking at the colors. (Sides might be wrong as the booklet on my HeadUnit differ between my car. Left Being Right, etc.)

Currently have the entire harness cut and removed as
far back as possible, rear Speakers are rewired and zip tied every 4 inches with my Front/Rear RCA cables running to my AMP, along with my Remote Turn On. I'm taking the doors off and rewiring those today.
