If there were speakers put into it the polaritys could be wrong. make sure the + wire goes to the + terminal of the speaker. etc  etc (in reply to hawaiisaab93) Post #: 5

Yes I have the Bass set on max, and treble almost minimum, I am not that stupid!! I have had cars for over 20 years and this must be the most dire radio ever!! So there must be some underlying problem???? The last owner had a hands free kit for his mobile, could that have any influence if it was taken out wrong and the wiring interferred with? < Message edited by mjw69 -- 3/28/2008 10:58:18 AM > (in reply to hawaiisaab93) Post #: 7
