Out of time today. Glad it came of quick because I was probably going to break something.

Head unit works, speaker do not, checked wiring to speakers, even swapped out a pair still cannot hear anything. Reset head unit nothing. Checked harness and wires to see if one came out or something, those are perfectly fine.

From the looks of it everything checks out fine, just no sound.

Side note when I put the pioneer back in and it booted up fine when the alpine wouldn't. Why would that happen? Once I jumped the car the alpine booted up fine.

I looked back and I am still wondering are you running NEW wire from the head unit to the speaker or are you using the factory wiring?

If your using the factory wiring make sure its going from the unit to the speaker and wasnt routed somewhere else. If your using new wiring check all connections at the unit and the speaker and make sure the wire isnt crimped or cut or bare in any section.

Dumb question, are the speakers any good?

I have new wire. Took it out the green Camaro which worked fine. I have the alpine wiring harness, and all the wires were cut and wiring like this from bestbuy



And connected to the factory stuff I guess? But each speaker is wired using the red Rockford fosgate wiring.


Speakers work fine. Like I said each speaker I hooked up I tested and worked fine, even down to the last one. Then it just decided to no work at all.

I checked all the wires, crimps are fine.

ok I would check and make sure that the speaker wire (usually all the funky color ones, purple and purple with black line, brown and brown with black line, etc) are hooked up in the same locations as your red rockford wiring in that wiring harness. Or by pass it all and take the red wires and solder them straight to the head unit wires. Sounds like somewhere in there lies your issue.

[BP_Z28]

I think they are actually OK? I followed each wire and everything checks out.

What would make it just stop the sound all together? I can understand a speaker or two but all 4?

This is going to sound stupid, but go into the head unit's menus and such and make sure everything looks right, the volume is up, and nothing is turned down/muted. I don't know anything about that specific unit, but some units have a setting to turn off the built-in amplifier to save on heat/power/etc. if it's not being used.

Tried it numerous time already :/, even after resetting and disconnecting everything like 10times.

I don't think this would have anything to do with it, but found this behind the head unit.

The 1st pic, the questionable connection is on the left. The white connector is the wire harness for head unit hook up.

I fished around and didn't see anything that would connect to it, but don't want to derail the thread just was curious

Here is another show closer for the wires.

That looks like the stock wiring to me

going back in, last thing I want to do is take it to an audio shop. If I had a job and tried everything sure, but yea no job means gotta try and figure this shit out....did I mention I hate electrical?

if you were closer I would tell ya to bring it by and I would wire it up for ya. Sounds like a simple wiring issue somewhere.

[BP_Z28]

I have the alpine install manual on my phone and was looking at the wiring schemes. looking at which wires control what I did not see anything out of the ordinary that would control all 4 speakers for sound output? Just the individual speaker wire colors.

My ground has to be good, if it wasn't I am assuming the head unit wouldn't even turn on?
