install problem

[Cdn Wolf]

ok so we just picked up a new metrik single din dvd headunit model # LDM-615 and i'm not getting any sound from the unit to the speakers
every wire is matched properly colour to colour
now i'm left over with a brown wire... the book says it's for a reverse cam
does it need to be hooked up?
any suggestions?
yes i've connected, pulled apart and reconnected every wire twice now
my last thought is the unit might be defective i dunno.
any thoughts would be great
thanks

don't take this the wrong way but have you tried turning up the volume?

i was just getting ready to swap over the Kenwood from my truck to the Accord. The install paper for the wire harness i bought from wally world said any wires that arent going to be used, should be taped off so to not cause a short anywhere.

lol yeah i've tried turning up the volume to full lol

[Leung]

nothing really comes to mind besides the volume since you said you've already tried making sure everything is tight.

i guess just exchange the radio for another unit just in case it is defective.

[loud92CB7]

have u hooked up the blue wire with a white stripe? and could u take pics for us??? i can give more info if i had a pic... with the wires spread out a little so i can make out each one.....

[accordztech]

make sure u didnt hook up a mute wire...sometimes tehy are the same color as speakers on cheaper stereo.

if anything its either a bad deck, or a grounded out speaker.

well there was a solid orange wire which is apparently "amplifier control" so it says whatever that is lol i had it hooked up to the orange and white wire on the stock harness. i pulled it apart and everything worked fine lol
only shitty thing about this deck is it doesn't have a sub control

No sub control? Damn man, why bother then...
If it has an internal amp it will need more power, hence why you needed to hook up that orange wire I havent had anything other then alpine, other then my sub amp. Everything else in my car is alpine, and now im looking for a new deck hehe.... one i get my coilovers, this is going to rule!
