Maximum frustration. Aftermarket stereo with Infinity. HELP!
Hello. I am to the most maximum point of being frustrated with this. I have looked all over the web and found no solution that worked.
I have a '97 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with the Infinity speaker system. I bought a wire harness from Wal-mart and went to work. I matched all the wires together fine, but I did notice one thing. I had an extra plain blue wire that didn't match that said "power antenna" which I don't have, so I taped it off. I also have another wire that didn't match the aftermarket stereo's harness, it was a plain orange one labeled "dash illumination". Either way, the new stereo powered up fine. ONE problem: one speaker works and the rest are all scratchy.
Now, I had this same exact head unit in the truck before, and it worked perfect. I swapped it out with my girlfriend's car and went back to stock for awhile. Now, she has a new head unit and I went to put this one back in, and I run into this problem.
Also, I tried taking that plain blue wire and splicing it to the blue/white wire on the aftermarket's harness, still nothing. I know that the Infinity system has an internal amp for each speaker, so I know this is the issue.
No, the speakers aren't blown, I thought I messed them up at first, but the stock stereo runs them perfectly fine. Maybe I bought the wrong wire harness? It didn't say Infinity on the back.
HELLLLP!

I still want to use the Infinity amp and know it's possible. I'm just wondering if there's something special I gotta go. I do not want to BYPASS it. I am not installing subs and other amp. I just want this new head unit to work all the speakers. I had it working before...I dunno what's wrong. No one has replied to this in hours, not sure if anyone has a solution here either...
