i have a aftermarket deck with the factory infinity amp and the speakers all work fine when the radio is on but when i put a cd in they dont work!!!! i have a subwoofer and u can hear the sub but not the regular speakers? is there a trick with the factory amp and playing cds with a aftermarket deck? please help thanks

 

since it works with the radio I would have to say there is something wrong with the head unit. check all of your audio settings when you have the CD selected.

 

i had a alpine deck in it and then bought a brand new sony cause thats what i thought but still the same?

 

Does turning the
volume up or down change anything? Like up with the radio does it cut out or down with a cd make it so you can hear it? If the volume does anything of the sort make sure the power wire to the amp isnt connected to a speaker feed

 

im havin the same problem in my 99 cant get any sound out of the speakers. do you have to bypass the factory amp?

 

volume goes up to the subwoofer but still no speaker volume?,no i didnt bypass the factory amp but i wish i could without it being a big deal? it works fine on the radio just not cd?

 

Where is the factory amp on a 99 Xj? I don't feel like looking at a diagram in the book!

 

under rear seat

 

I guess mine dont have one. I store all kinds of stuff under there and never saw one.

 

if i could upgrade the factory amp with a aftermarket one without running all new wires i would? or bypass it i would do that to,somebody has to have done it????????????

 

Wow, just upgrade it and run new wiring to be safe. I'd laugh at you if you tried running an aftermarket amp on stock wiring and caught your Jeep on fire because of it. If you have a stock amp, rip it out, remove the wiring and run all new wiring rated for the load it'll be handling, install the new amp and call it a day....unless you wanna burn your Jeep to the ground.

 

I would have to agree with ZachsXJ! Generally factory uses 18ga. wire for speakers. (also don't know how many splices they might have it.) J

 

I have heard of the bypass being done....as for the upgrade, i would agree with the other two, not with stock wiring.....UNLESS you did some research and checked the amp power specs, and got one thats rated the same.

Not much of an upgrade tho....

If you want a wiring diagram, i can get you one....(yes the right one)....at least that way you could double check the wiring at the deck, and if you decide to rip it out our anything, you know youve got it right.

 

probally gonna do that!! thanks

 

any body have info on the bypass?
