i wanted to replace the factory indash with an alpine indash. when i installed it, i used the wiring harness that i got from best buy and all the wires were connected, when i turned it on, it powered up but it didnt have any sound. i know the cd player works, i was wondering if it had to do with the infinity setup? if so, could i replace all the speakers with standard passive speakers and it work fine?

 

Sounds like you left something unplugged.

 

My guess is the harness you bought is for the "stock" system and not the "premium" system. I believe that the Infinity system has an amp somewhere, and the wiring setup is most likely different than the "stock" setup.

 

The amp is in the passenger side kick plate.

 

for anyone else reading this, the infinity requires a speical and expensive module made by Metra Electronics www.metraonline.com

Part number is CHTO-013

 

The infinity systeam is a 2ohm systeam and a 4 ohm deck would proble not work to well and the best way to go if you whant to replace it is to run your own speaker wires and just bypass the amp and replace the speakers but $$$ and the stock deck is pretty nice noens likly to rip it off and there are infinity speakers out the to really make it sound good add a sub and perfect cruchfield.com can help they no what you need as far as 2ohm speakers only about 3 choices infinity and i tink the other was polk i went with infintys deep mount fron shallow rear and 2 10' jbl and mtx d 8100 wich is all on pins too pull right out but to a thief he would think it was stock
