I'm dying here. Need my tunes man

Hello fellow Taco lovers Dean taco I have masses issues with my radio I no – lights I have no running lights I have a home that driving nuts with my alternator and I got a lot of stuff in there aftermarket head unit 215 four six by nines and I think I might have blown my to tweeters two 2000 watt amps and one 600 watt amp that's all Max Amps that are max watts not rms

 

New head unit. Wires was already cut by past owner. I have a white n green strip and a green with red strip. Don't say anything about those two in book. But put power to them. Dash light stay on and running lights do. If. No power they don't do nothing. And I got that dar hum from alternator

 

Thank you man my first day

 

Alt dead. Overpowered system killed it.

 

Killed what?

 

O boy is this a make fun the new guy. Lol I don't need that shit. I. Here for answers. People need to be more friendly. Enough damn hate everywhere. Later

 

I'm not making fun of you but I can if you'd like. Your original post is like trying to read gibberish. Which I'm fairly good at considering the amount of time I spend in this site. So, let's try this again. Explain, in detail, what your having issues with. Running lights? Alt? No power to head unit? Lots of people here have the knowledge and ability to help if YOU can manage to ask questions we can make sense of.

 

Bought truck had no audio everything was cut. I guess someone stole the audio. Anyway I install new headunit put a couple amps and subs and new door speakers. So I just had this white and green stripe wire and this green with red stripe wired to accessory power wire. They will turn and stay on (running lights and dash lights). With out that accessory power wire nothing happens no dash or running lights. Even if truck is fully running.

 

I'll second what the others have mentioned- It is really hard to understand what you're asking for help on. I know more and more people are posting from their phones at this point, but it still helps to break up thoughts/points into their own paragraphs so we can follow along.

But, reading between the lines, I'll give it a shot.

Are you doing this speaker install yourself? I am assuming you've run proper wiring and an aux fuse block to power your aftermarket amps? If not, just stop there, and get that squared away.

Here is the wiring diagram from the FSM (a few members have a link to the FSM in their signatures, it might be worth your effort to find and download a copy)




While that's a little hard to decipher, a quick google search turns up a table:


Pay attention to the ACC and Illumination wires. It sounds like you've got them mixed up. ACC (Gray) should be telling your head unit when to turn on, so if you have the Green/Red wired to that input on your head unit, it would make sense that the HU only works when your lights/dash are on.

I don't see anything for White/Green, and it's been a long time since I replaced my head unit, so maybe someone who recently has done some work in there might be able to help you more.

 

Also- regarding the "proper wiring and fuse block", in your sig, I see "600watt and 2000watt amp x2. Two 15in". Given that wattage, you're going to need to bring in 4 or 2 gauge wire from the battery to a fuse block. I suggest you spend some time in the audio forum asking more specific questions to others who are driving that much wattage- It seems high for most commonly available fuse blocks. Then from the fuse block, you could have 6 or 4 gauge to your 2000watt amps, and like 10 gauge to your 600 watt amp. See https://www.crutchfield.com/S-uDdCKp9Si68/learn/learningcenter/car/cable_gauge_chart.html (I made some "reasonable" guesses).

Getting power to those amps and speakers properly is a safety concern first, and a sound quality concern second.

You're probably going to kill your battery too, so set aside some cash to upgrade that as well- again, the audio forum would be a better place to get more detailed info on how best to do that.

 

My head hurts from reading a sentence that long..

 

You might try calling Crutchfield. This is exactly why they make the big bucks.

 

Damn, you’re a saint for deciphering the OP’s issue and coming up with a plausible explanation/solution. Well done.
