ok i started on installing my cd player at about 10am yesterday i took out the stock cassette player and kept the bracket it was in to use for my cd player



next i take a break to call the insurance lady to get my car fixed(i was rearended on the 1st) she feeds me some bullcrap and trys to get my to total my car i say no it is getting fixed, then she says she will call me on wednesday i say fine and head back to work



i don't feel like wirering the whole damn thing so i headed to the stereo store to pick up a wiring harness



now i figure how i am going to mount the cd player i look at a few options and they failed so now i just riped out a few tabs on the bracked and get some screws and washers and just bolt that thing down



sodder the wires together hook up the harness and start up the cd player...



thats odd it has power and says it is running but no sound to the speakers...



then when me and a friend pull the thing out and check out the wiring looks good



i check the fueses and ones blown i replace it and the same problem



well the stock mazda speakers have amps for each speakers so we have to rewire it so that the speakers are hooked up driectly to the cd player https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif . that takes a little time then we start it up again walla it is running



we get done it is late and i am happy i will post some pictures later

ya that does kinda suck



did you wire in a relay so that your power antena will work?

eh my power attena i never liked it going up, i don't like radio much and my friends thought it would be a good arm rest and thre the thing off the track so it never went up it just sounded like it was trying



but the attena works just the motor doesn't go

they pushed it down and the motor didn't like it so when it was hooked up before it would make a clicking sound like it was trying to go up but it never would

how did you wire it up to not use the mazda amps? im going to install a new headunit soon and dont want to run into the same problem

i can post a few pic once i get my camera working



but buy the wirering harness like i did it makes it so much easier

mine was kinda easy



i unplugged the harness...and spliced all the wires with the new harness that the radio came with



pretty straight foward

the wiring harness isnt gonna get you around the stock amps you will have to run completly new wires to each speaker



its easy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
