    Tell us how you did what you did. Then we'll suggest something like..undo what you did, cause it's no longer doing and if that does what it should do, then we'll suggest you don't do whatever it was that you did to do what you did, cause it did something wrong.

    Cool?

    the power button does nothing , & i set up my amp and sub woofer like any other i grounded the ground to a bolt in the trunk and the positive to the battery the only thing i did to the radio is i removed it from the dash and checked the wires with a meter to make sure i had the ground and the positive wire
