If you touched the wires together with the amp on you probably blew the output transistors.  Otherwise, check the wires with a meter and see if youre getting anything out of them.

I dont have an external amp, it should all be running off the HU. Wiring is exactly like the pics Nathan posted, one fat spade connector and one thin for each speaker, marries up fine.

Anyway cheers guys, Im off out now to try fitting the old ones, will report back ASAP...

Check the fuse on the back of the hu and the fuse in the box thats impossible to find to the right of the steering wheel.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Had other things going on so have only just got around to testing the speakers. I had sound for about 1 second when I put one of the speakers back on. I think the HU isnt up to the job.

Oh yeah there are door speakers as well and these should work still but dont, so it pretty much has to be the HU now I reckon. Im off to buy booze, its been a long day sorting out that car.

Thank Jebus youre not in the Holler--sales of hootch are illegal on Sunday. :lol: That said...the same applies in Sweden...maybe theyre not bitter commie atheists after all, but closet Baptists~!

/random

FWIW, a basic decent head unit is dirt cheap these days. Around here$100 will get you something just fine. Not worth spending more on something thats got a soft top anyway.

One Catholic church I have been in had a fully fitted pub in the crypt. Ideal, you go in, have some singing, go downstairs, get a bit drunk and sing some more... :ptu:

Why doesnt a head unit give you head? :shrug:

I think Ill get that Kenwood in a couple of months time then. Ive absolutely no money now, so Ill have to have no sound for a while, not that it bothers me that much.

On the sidenote, I think we should be able to buy drink, food, cigs and drugs 24x7, even our Sunday trading law is a joke. This is United mofoin Kingdom, not some backwards state. Screw Jebus.

Sunday trading law isnt a joke for those who have to work it.
