Fitted a new radio cd with a usb port,the two plastic blocks from the original radio fitted straight onto the new radio block and i have sound in the front and rear speakers.I have lost sound from the sub speakers on the back door.does anyone know how to wire the sub speakers back up to work with the new radio.I know the subwoffer needs a power supply, Is it just a case of re routing some speaker wires.Thank's.

The connection blocks may have connected together but u may have some wires that have not matched up correctly therefore no supply to the amp, also did u connect the preamp out phono to the amps audio feed.

Unfortunately changing head units is not always plug & play.
There's a few threads on the subject in the forum.

Think i will leave the original one in for now,the thought of a usb for an i pod would be good.

It could be as simple as the settings on the radio use the fader setting to adjust front to back speaker volume it may be that

Those sub speakers require a bit of modification but can be made to work. I couldn't be bothered when I changed my radio - plus the factory subs rattled the back door! I just fitted a sub/amp combo that I had in the garage.
