ok guys I'm going crazy here trying to find a solution to my problem. i recently installed my sound system to my 08 tls but have run into a problem. i spliced a 9 wire speaker wire which come in one insulator to make it neat. i disconnected the pin from the factory amp and spliced the new wires to each speaker i want to work with my aftermarket 4 channel amp. once i was done installing everything i have NO AUDIO from neither amps but once i plug the pin back to the factory amp i have sound once again. i have no clue what else to do!!! PLEASE HELP

 

sounds like you took the signal after the factory amp and it needs to be plug in or there's a kink in the chain..so to speak. Look up the wire codes and splice in to the pre-amp section.

thats where I'm having problems!! i had an idea that the pre amp section was the issue. I'm new to the tl world and have no idea where the pre amp section located. i literally stood there trying to find it near the factory amp but have no clue where its at

 

The plug going into the factory amp (towards the front of the car) is the pre-amp wires from the Head Unit. The plug towards the rear is the post-amp harness going to the speakers.

What kind of aftermarket amp do you have? Is it coming on at all?

u guys are the best...i had no idea what to do so i decided to visit a audio shop and the guy just to fix the wiring is charging me $300!! mind u, he was going t charge me $500 before i had done all the wiring myself smh. i am going to run a memphis 4 channel amp for it, yea i know the power on is too much for the stock speakers but its just temporary and for the sub i got one 12" memphis mojo(new design) and a rockford fosgate t1500 for the sub

 

Yeah...do it yourself

 

last questions....
before i do all this work do i have to leave the plug connected to the factory amp if so isn't gong to interfere with the aftermarket. to be sure, what color is the pin in which i have to splice the new wires?

 

Just leave the plug in and splice the correct wires
