Question
Hi, I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the factory radio was stolen, so I have an aftermarket radio (Jensen CD6112) and I was trying to install it, but it's not working out too well. I cut the wires from the wiring harness to hardwire everything, I got power ONCE, after that, I tried connecting the speakers and found that my speakers were blown. So, I installed new speakers and Ive been connecting the wires...still nothing! I should have left the wiring harness on huh?

Answer
install the factory speakers back  in the car if you have the infinity system  you are going to have a lot of problems with aftermarquet speakers and never is going to sound good

what you have to do is turn on the factory amplifier using the blue wire from your radio
