'96 T & C infinity acoustic 10 wiring
Hello, all. I have a '96 Chrysler town and country, with the infinity acoustic 10 sound system in it. The previous owner had replaced the factory stereo with an aftermarket, and fortunately they did use a wiring harness. The problem was that for some reason, there was only sound coming out of the front dash speakers. i checked over all the wiring, and it appeared to be okay. There were 3 wires that were left unhooked, coming from the dash. There simply was not a harness to plug them into. After doing some digging around on the web, i figured out some things about the infinity system. Apparently it is an amplified system, and there are small amps, or 'power boosters' built into some of the speakers, being the front door speakers, and the rear panel speakers. There has to be a signal from the reciever to the ams to power up the speakers. So i found if i hooked up the amp signal wire to the remote wire coming from the stereo wiring harness, as well as securing a stray ground wire (one of the three left unplugged from the dash) to the ground strap coming out of the dash, i got a 'click' from a relay under the dash, and then i got sound from the woofers in the front doors. Sweet....or so i thought. I now have sound in the front dash, the two front doors (woofers), and sound from the two small tweeters in the rear pillars......but not from the two panel speakers on either side of the van, in the rear seat. I cannot figure it out, and it's driving me nuts. I only have two wires from the dash left unattended to, and i have no idea what they go to, or whether or not they even pertain to my problem. One wire is blue with a orange, or red stripe, and the other is a white wire with a black stripe. What do they go to? and are they part of my problem? if not, then how to i get the signal back to the two non functional speakers? From what i've gathered, once these systems work right, and the speakers are not blown, then they sound pretty decent. But they can also be a real headache! any help would be great! It seems i cannot find any sites with wiring diagrams for my year, equipped with the infinity acoustic 10 systems. The only thing i can find is for a basic stereo and speaker setup, which i don't have. Thanks in advance!
