Just bumping this for this completely correct answer.

It will be the same wire on the head-unit that you ran to the remote-on for the new amp...so, that one blue/white wire will turn on two amps...

^what he said. I bought my HU from crutchfield for the free support and the free vehicle harness. They sent the infinity amp adapter wire. I just teed my aftermarket amp to that wire, and grounded the amp to the right front passenger seat bolt, with amp under the pass seat.

Most likely you did.

I had the same problem. Once the pre-amp wire was hooked up, everything worked a-okay. Make sure you dont run the aftermarket amp's power wire down the same side as your audio wires to the amp. You'll get a lot of interference and static in the subs. Just trust me, move the audio wires to the opposite side of the truck.

Just click on the picture itself, and when the new window pops up, right click on it and choose save as. Once you have saved it to your pc, you can view it properly. It's blurry otherwise. It will explain all the wires and just make sure you have everything wired up correctly. Most likely, you will have a blue wire on the harness for your aftermarket radio that isnt being used. That will need to be hooked up. Also, you'll need to ground the stereo properly. Read the diagram.
You noticed the extra infinity wire, where do I attach this?

Default Thes Posts fixed my no sound on 1999 Durango speakers

Some of the people on this problem of no sound after installing an aftermarket sound system solved my problem here in 2017, 11 years after some of the comments were written. I have the same problem with my '99 Durango. The suggestions here worked. It was mentioned that if you have the Infinity system in your truck, you need to connect a blue wire from the new unit that will power on a separate amplifier for the Infinity speakers. I just thought that since the speakers were labeled on the truck door as Infinity that all it meant was that's the brand of the speakers. Well I connected the blue wire to the connector and the new CD/Radio/DVD Player/backup camera/bluetooth/usb/microSD system works great.

Thanks to everyone back in 2006 and 2007 that suggested this fix.
