audio question

[davehimself]

i just installed a new headunit a pioneer deh 5000b, using the socshe FDK13B 2000-up Select Ford lincoln Mercury Amplified replacement harness http://scosche.com/products/productID/1402, put all the wires together and everything works fine except the rear deck subs, does anyone have any experience with this wiring harness that can help

well - here is what I know....

If you have a system with a rear amp and sub woofers then your wiring off the head unit should look like:

The large 20-pin connector:
Position 5 and 6 = right rear (- white and + gray)
Position 12 and 13 = left rear (- whit/violet and + gray/white)
Position 7 and 8 = right front (- white/red and + gray/red)
Position 14 and 15 = left front (- white/black and + gray/black)
Constant power = position 9 (orange.black)
Switched hot in start = position 3 (gray/orange)
Switched hot in run or ACC = position 10 (yellow/green)
Ground = position 16 (black/green)

The 16-pin connector contains the connections to the steering wheel controls and various data bus signals. The cassette systems with external CD changer have a connector dedicated to the signal cable for the changer.

On audiophile systems, there is an 8-pin connector wired as follows:
position 1 = sub + line level signal (gray/red)
position 2 = sub - line level signal (white/red)
position 3 = shield for sub amp signal
position 4 = +12 remote power to sub amp (yellow/red)
position 5 = center channel - line level signal (gray)
position 6 = center channel + line level signal (white)
position 7 = shield for center channel signal
position 8 = +12 remote power to center channel amp (yellow)

Hook up the Blue/White from the Pioneer to the Blue wire on aftermarket harness

yeah thats what i tryed just now but is still didn't work so im going to go check the fuses, thanks for the help guys

 

[davehimself]

ok checked the amplifier fuse and it was fine i undid all the wires and took a picture

the confusing part is there is only one blue and white coming from the headunit but there are 2 coming from the harness and there are also 2 amp grounds coming from the small 8 pin harness and 1 amp ground coming from the big 20 pin harness

One of those two is for the center channel amp for the two center speakers. The same is true of the ground. The factory turn-on leads are actually 5V, but 12V won't harm them.

If you are using the center channel speakers and the sub-woofers, connect all three blue-white wires together. The center channel ground goes to the ground of the center channel pre-amp out from your head unit.

connect both the blue/white wires to the headunits blue/white
