Head Unit/Amp Issue!

[Foxmoto 0]

Hey guys, i'm having a problem with my front comp speakers (PG RSD 6.5) and the amp for them (Sundown SAX-100.2) I just put a new head unit into the car, its a Sony xplod CDX-gt 5. I know, its a garbage head unit but i'm selling the car and didn't want to give away my good unit with it. My problem is that there is almost no sound coming out of the front speakers even though i have the gains flat out maxed on the amp. Help would be greatly appritiated.

Did you make sure the preout's on the deck actually work? Is the amp turning on? Are the wires from the amp to the speakers making good contact?

I'm thinking that the deck's preouts are probably not working since the amp turns on and is sending a small amount of power to the speakers.

The speakers/amp worked fine with my other deck.

Yeah, the preouts are broken.

Thanks for the help.

I think that some Sonys have weird settings that turn on/off or mute the preouts in some way. Could that be it? Or did you find out they really are just messed up?
