Question

ok I spend all yesterday setting up my system I up in all new speaker wire and I got a brand new interconnecter I got the amp hooked up and then I put in my deck (after I found out what wire are what because the harness was taken out by the last owner of my car) I left the old speakers wires in the front doors and Pluged it my deck and it boots up and takes a cd and looks like its playing it. but the only noise is a buzzing noise and I think the front speakers were touching the old wire (I was too lazy to tape them) so whats wrong???

Your amp is running the speakers ?

I'd disconnect the factory speaker wires from the deck... there is no reason for them to be hooked up... but if they were grounding out your HU would probably either shut itself down, blow it's fuse, or let out the magic smoke....

I'd go back over everything...

Some advice: I learned a long time ago that shortcuts often make a job alot harder in the long run....
