I tried to wire my Audiobahn amp up to the factory JBL system in my 97 using the high level input and it did not work. I went up to the local audio shop to ask the guy what the problem could be because I can't get a response on here and he told me that I needed a line level convertor to get it to work properly. I then had to go to best buy to get one for $22. I went home and wired it up expecting it to work then and still no sound from the speaker. The amp gets power and I know the thing works but I get NO sound! A detailed wire diagram or any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone else had problems doing this or am I alone in the dark???

Thank you very much, that is the diagram that I needed! The diagram that I had before was for the tweeters I guess and that is what I had them wired up to. DOH! Thanks Cal, I have to work tonight but I will wire it up tomorrow and tell ya how everything goes. Again, thank you.

Well, got everything wired up and it finally works! I had to swap amps and try a different one because the amp would power up and the fan would blow but the power LED would not light up...odd. So I switched amps and the other amp got no power at all and I know that I had it wired to the battery correctly. I then figured it would have to be the remote wire and it was. I had it hooked to the blue wire on one of the connectors which from a different diagram it said was the remote wire. Was it just not putting out enough power to actually power the amp up or what? I then hooked it directly to a hot wire so I have to take it out every time I get out of the car but it is better than nothing. If I have to leave it that way I will just wire up a toggle switch and leave it at that. Any thoughts on what to do? Thank you Cal and the rest who have helped in this troublesome journey of my system install! I really appreciate this board and all the great people that post on it!
