Aftermarket stereo hookup on 94 GT w/premium sound
My girlfriend got a new car and gave me the stereo out of her old one... I
hooked it up to my my car using the wiring harness clips for the premium
sound setup, and it sounds great... except that on some songs, there will be
a sound (sometimes vocals, or a guitar riff, etc., depends on the song)
that's isolated from the main music that I can BARELY hear... I know the
sound is there because I hear it if I listen to the CD on any other stereo.
My balance and fade controls work the way they should, and I have all the
wires hooked up to the harness clip correctly according to their color
coding. Is there a center channel that I need to hook up that I mised or
something? What could be causing this?

Why do you feel it is the radio? You said:
"I hear it if I listen to the CD on any other stereo."
If that is the case, it is the cd and not the radio...alittle more info
would help.
Thanks,
Shane

Re: Aftermarket stereo hookup on 94 GT w/premium sound
I feel it's the radio because if I listen to the cd on other stereos and I
*do* hear something, and then I put that same cd in my car and listen to it
and it's not there, then it can't be the CD, otherwise it would sound the
same no matter what stereo it was played on. I'm not an audiophile by any
means, and I'm not an expert car stereo installer either so I'm not sure
what other information I can provide... let me know what info I need to give
and if I have to yank the stereo from my dash to do it, I will. In the
meantime, I'll try to find a song that I can give an example that this
happens in.

One of your stereo channels is inverted. Double-check your speaker
connections on your wiring harness. You have the positive and negative wires
flip-flopped on one.

If you move the fader or balance during the problem event and the sound
returns, one speaker somewhere has reverse polarity and they cancel each
other out. Since you mentioned the problem is "sometimes vocals, or a guitar
riff" it's most likely a small midrange speaker.

Re: Aftermarket stereo hookup on 94 GT w/premium sound
I remember reading on my Crutchfield wiring harness adapters instructions
that on some of the Mustangs the left and right front speaker returns were
reversed. To check this you were supposed to take the + and - wires of the
what you thought was the left or right front speaker and touch them to a 1.5
volt battery and listen for noise. Noise = good / no noise = wrong wire.
