not brand new but my cousin gave me his 02 alipne unit that he pulled from his trans am in working condition. it has 6 plugs for rca sound and it has regular harness. i bought the regular harness and soldered the wires in myself rather than buying the smart harness thing and having it all predone for me. the head unit works fine the power comes on changes radio stations opens for a cd and will start to play the cd but no sound comes out. now i find it hard to beleive that i soldered and spliced everything right ecxept every single speaker wire. anyone know what the problem is its an alpine cda 7894.
thnx

maybe the powerIC internal amp is shut off if your friend was using amps. also try pushing the lil reset button if it has one.

The power IC is in the menu of the radio. maybe need to hold menu down to access it.

he was using amps which he gave me but i ahvent hooked up yet. im alredy thinking the amp he gave me is too loud. ill try the pwer ic thing as soon as i can get it to power back up, i do beleive i blew a fuse or something because now my radio wont work, the factory radio wont even work now. anyone know what fuse is for radio off their heads?
