Hello all,
I have a '95 B2500 Van conversion (Prime Time by Glaval) with the Infinity 4-speaker system and OEM stereo AM/FM Cassette. I can verify the system worked on all 4 speakers with the original stereo. I have now installed an aftermarket stereo (Pioneer DEH-11E) and damned if I can't get it to work. I've already popped off a million bits of trim to verify the wire colors of each speaker (the center 2 wires of each speaker should be the +/- from what I understand).
For whatever reason, only the right-front speaker works, and it sounds like only the tweeter functions because the output is weak and twangy. This system has it's own ground wire (plugs to the back of the OEM stereo) and both using that and just grounding it to the dash does not seem to change anything. I've gone through 4 times now to verify the speaker wires are correct, along with the switched and constand 12v supplies (strangely only supplying 11.8v but whatever). Is there something different I'm missing due to the Infinity system? The stereo I'm installing works for sure; it was in my old '91 van. I'm trying to avoid running new wires and buying new speakers (as in, I don't have money to buy new speakers). Any ideas what I could be missing? There are only 2 wires from the original harness (vehicle) not being used and I'm guessing they are for the backlighting and dimmer controls, so they shouldn't be required.
Thanks,
John
