Why NO sound from my rear speakers for my Toyota Camry 1998?

Question

I just bought & installed a NEW Dual XHD6425 Receiver. It sounds great, but problem is NO sound from the rear speakers. Originally, I had a Blaupunkt RPD555 Installed (Aftermarket). The wiring harness seem to have the Rear speakers separate by itself, but it matched the colors to the new wire harness adapter on the XHD6425.

The Front speakers seem to be working 100%, but when I fade to the rear. -1 to -11 the volume from Front speakers decrease by each level (-2, -3, -4...) when it goes to -12 (Max) the sound goes complete silent No sound from rear speakers at all.

I don't understand why this is. Ummm, only other thing I can think of I did connect the Blue wire (It WASN'T connected before for the Blaupunkt RPD555) it says it's the Remote/Antenna wire.... you think that has anything to do with it, at all? How much does this relate?

Should I remove this blue wire connection?

Answer 1

1) The blue wire won't do anything.  If your car is not equipped with a power antenna then it will just terminate in the harness and do nothing, don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with speakers.

2) You didn't blow your speakers.  If they blew they would still be making some sort of noise, just not a good one.

3) The problem is the install.  Either you did not connect the wires properly or something came loose.

Check the wires coming from the reciever.  See which colors are for the rear, and see where they are going.  Make sure they are connecting to the same wires that the previous reciever hooked up to.

As long as the wiring harness you are plugging into the factory wires is the correct one then you should just be hooking red to red, black to black, etc...  If you are bypassing a harness then you will need a wiring diagram for the camry and connect the speaker wires directly.

Pm me with any questions.
