Re: stereo has power but no sound

02sentra,

Something's not connected right with the audio portion. I always fall back to talking to our install bay techs. They are usually able to trouble shoot anything I've thrown at them.

Thank you,

Re: stereo has power but no sound

It is likely an issue with a factory amplified system.  It is possible that you just need to connect the right wire to turn on the factory amplifier, but the best way to connect those systems involves another part that matches the output of the new stereo to the expected input level of the factory amplifier.  The best suggestion would be to check with your local Autotechs to see what their suggestion would be.
