Problems! 2000 Caravan Sport and Infinity Sound
I removed the Infinity CD/Tape/Radio unit from my 2000 Caravan because the
CD player no longer works and I am attempting to replace it with an aftermarket unit. I bought a dash adapter and wiring kit so I wouldn't have to cut/splice any of the wires. Now that I have it installed the rear speakers won't work. Wanting to rule out bad rear channels in the receiver, I swapped the front and rear speaker connections. The front speakers still work using the rear channels of the receiver, so I know the receiver is ok, and it must be something with the wiring. I tried to get continuity with my V/Ohm meter and couldn't get any with the rear speakers. As a last ditch effort, I went to the local Mopar garage and told the guy at the service counter my story and he told me that "you can put an Infinity receiver in a non-Infinity vehicle, but you can't put an aftermarket radio in an Infinity equipped vehicle without replacing the speakers. Each speaker has it's own amp on the back of it". By that I figured he meant a diode or transformer of some kind. Is there any way I can use the stock speakers? Remove the diode/transformer or something. What do people usually do in this instance? Thanks, Snydley |
