[V8] Stereo Install Question

[daves745t@optonline.net]

Thanks Ingo - yeah this was a real treat, which
 is why it was so disappointing when nothing
 happened.  I will definitely check the amp
 as suggested. Thanks.

I do want to clarify one thing that when I said
 that I did not use any existing wires, I meant
 the speaker wires. Utilizing the Crutchfield
 Harness I tapped into the stock harness for
 power, antennae and ground. Which is why
 I suppose the radio turned on and antennae
 went up! :)
