Hi everyone … I’m new to this forum and already need some help!
You might want to check the speakers … make sure they’re all showing 4 ohms with a multimeter. Did you test the wires properly?

I’ll check the ohms and let you know! I tested the wires by checking continuity with a multimeter—put one probe at the head unit end and the other at the speaker end. All eight wires showed continuity.
@Suki
Are the 8 wires for front and rear speakers? What about the tweeters? Those need to be connected, too.

Yeah, front and rear speakers … two wires for each speaker. The tweeters aren’t wired in, though … their wires are capped off.
@Suki
That’s probably your problem … the tweeters need to be connected, at least for the front speakers to work.

Got it, I’ll connect them and see if that fixes it. But should the rear speakers still work even without the tweeters?
@Suki
The rear speakers might need a factory amp to turn on. Check the blue wire—it might power the amp.
Did you connect the blue wire from the head unit to the harness?

I connected the blue wire from the kit, but not the blue/white from the head unit. Do I need both?

Try connecting the blue/white to the blue from the kit. If there’s a factory amp, it might need that to power on.
@Chen
Thanks, I’ll try that and report back!
