hey fellas, i am just frustrated. i bought the scotsche wiring harness and installed my pioneer DEH-P8MP into the acura but there is no sound at all. what could be the possible reason. i have tested my headunit out in my 300zx and it works fine. is there a fuse that might be out that is speciafically for the speakers. by the way i have a 2001 cl-s with navi and stock speakers. the unit is getting power. any help is appreciated. thnx.

 

What the heck is a scotsche wiring harness? I've neer heard of that brand..

There are two areas to check for fuses, normal one is under the dash and there's another one on the Passenger side right by the door.. Check those first..

But I would go out and purchase a Metra wiring harness just in case.

 

its actually SCOSCHE. it fit the stock connector perfectly. i will go ahead and buy the metra just to be on the safe side. do u happen to know which fuse(s) may be out? thnx.

 

THat I don't know.. Sorry.. I could be so many..


I still think there's a chance it's the harness..

 

checked all the fuses under the hood and near the kick panel. everything is ok. is there a fuse for the stock amp? if so where is it located?

 

There are more fuses on the passenger side..

 

or if you have a stock amp, and aren't triggering it, you will get no sound

 

that was the problem exactly. guess what, the scosche harness didnt even have a remote turn on wire. i spliced into the original one and installed my sub as well. my headunit is up and working but the fuse is blown on the amp. f@#k. sounds pretty mean i have to admit. i am probably going to put my alpine speakers in soon though. have no freakin time now. anyways thnx jonesi n 97blackackcl for ur inputs. cheers

 

Stick with Metra for now on..
