Title: Deck In - No Sound
Post by: 302 PWR on May 18, 2009, 03:47:54 PM
Hey so I just got my deck in, everythings right as far as I can tell but alas I have no sound. The car has premium sound so I put the switch to off, and I searched around in the trunk but I'm having trouble finding the amp.

Car is a '83 T-bird with premium sound, no eq. and no door speakers.

Please halp.

The premium sound amp is in the center of the dash in an '83

Center? As in dead center? Can you give me a small description of what I'm looking for please?

I'm still a little unsure of how I can get the sound, I can either disconnect the factory amp or run new wires to the head unit, correct? However I really don't want to take this interior apart as its squeek free and I always seem to lose a few screws when disassembling a car interior.

The amp is behind the lighter panel. Remove the radio trim panel, remove the lighter panel, and it's mounted on a metal bracket at the very bottom of the dash, almost on the floor.

Thanks again Eric! You always seem to be saving me from further frustration!
