88 cougar no power to equalizer Reply #30 – August 06, 2011, 01:34:52 PM Radio/Cassette player works and I get lamp power to equalizer on lt blue/red wire but equalizer does not power on. Radio will play very weak through other connector that bypasses the equalizer but no sound with equalizer connected. Is there an in-line fuse or something in the radio that provides power to the graphic equalizer on the orange/lt blue wire?(amooset, Thank You for still having the wiring diagram with color code matching my car, sure was a bear to find one that matched!)

Factory EQ w/ aftermarket amps - Diagram within! Reply #31 – September 05, 2012, 10:15:54 PM I know I'm resurrecting an old thread. Theoretically, could the rewired outputs feed the factory amp? Trying to swap the sony head unit I already have, without spending any money at the current time :D I can always upgrade amps laterThinking this could work? Quote Selected

That's what I did, wire the outputs of a JVC head unit to feed the factory amp.

The orange/light blue amp power wire. Is that the main power feed to the amp, or a remote turn on? Quote Selected

Is that the main power feed to the amp, or a remote turn on?I believe it is a remote turn. I connected the blue with white stripe wire on my JVC head unit to it, which was the remote turn on, and it works fine. Quote from: mcb82gt;397547When splicing the RCA cable, does it matter which is the + and which is - ?The center pin of the RCA cable is positive, the outer part is negative. It does mater. The center wire of the right RCA goes to the pink/light blue wire, the center of the left RCA goes to the pink/light green wire, and the negative connection from both RCA cables is tied together and connected to the black/white wire. Fortunately these are the only 3 wires on the sound feed connector to the EQ. Here's the wiring diagram I used: http://www.foxthundercats.net/tech/aftermarketpremweq.pdf Quote Selected
