    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

    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.

    thanks for the replies everyone.. I'll re-check my wiring this weekend and
    find the one that's reversed

    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.
