After market radio power but no sound.

Hey guys I've installed an after market radio in my crossfire with the proper wire harness and I've got power but no sound. Has anyone experienced this before?

You obviously do not have the right harness. I tried to find an adaptive harness - waste of time.

My head unit came with 15 inch pigtails - I cut the connectors off the existing harness in the car and made a "this color on new unit to this color in the car" diagram, wired it all up with little pink butt splices, and had it working in an hour.

The only adapter I used was for the goofy euro-style antenna cable.

So you mean the adapter harnesses I've used on two of my cars doesn't exist?

Typically.. this is from not getting the amplifier turn on lead in the right position.. that loose blue wire (might be blue and white)..
