    Hi all

    I have a sony xplod stereo but only the front speakers are working. Looked through google and they say the rear speakers are powered by a amp.
    When I try wiring in the amp for the rear speakers all I get is a hissing noise through them.
    They worked perfect with the original stereo.

    Any Ideas?

    ok, in that case i really cant help. only other suggestion is to run new cables direct to the rear speakers and not use the amp..

    Thanks for the replies

    How do I get access to the speaker wires as there mounted in the doors?


    What colour is the wire for the second live for turning on the stereo?
    I know which one is the constant live for the memory.

    if you find the amp then the speaker wires will come out of it, you could connect onto these to save stripping the doors down.
