    tried installing a radio

    It was a complete failure
    got it to turn on and then the speakers don't work -___-

    bought new speakers,new stereo and the people who sold me the car
    did a fucked up job that when i turned on the car
    it burned out the ground cable completely; car started smoking disconnected the battery and followed them to the source cut them and
    now the powered windows are out!!

    any tips guys?

    Who can give me a hand fixing this?
    I live in LA :/

      Did you replace a stock stereo? if so, you have to bypass the factory amp in the trunk or run your own speaker wires.

          Barry, I did replace the stock radio because it wasn't working.
          I did pass new wiring but i used a piece of the old wiring that connected to the 2 back
          speakers.
          Where is the factory amp located?

              in the trunk on the drivers side behind the panel. It's tucked away.

                  I'm sure there's a write up on it in the audio section.

                      Found the bypass write up
                      ill check into it tomorrow
                      so in order to get it working i need to put new wiring to the back
                      speakers?

                      In case I can't get this done
                      would you be willing to give me a hand?
