    installed a stereo in the Celica, had all the speakers working great and they all just quit. still getting signal from the deck.
    is there a factory installed amp in the gts? are ther fuses for it? ideas?

    thanks,
    Steve

    So they were working off the new stereo, then they all stopped working at the same time? But the head unit is still getting power? Do you get anything at all from the speakers - static, buzzing, etc?

    yes they worked on the new stereo, only had the fronts connected as i didn't have time to find the rears. i know where they are now. they all quit and they have no sound. i dont have a spare speaker laying around to do a hard wire test, but my ohm meter is putting out 4.4 so it has output. this car is giving me nothing but headaches, i though the body would be the hardest part but i've got a ton... car was $30 so i cannot complain to much.

    It's all part of the joys of 25-year-old car ownership :p

    If both front speakers stopped working at the same time and are making no noise at all then it's got to be a wiring issue. Start again - pull everything that you installed back out and check it for power and ground before re-connecting it. If you're still not getting any sound I'd be looking at the head unit as being the problem, maybe it has an internal fuse on the pre-amp that's blown or something, I don't know..

    check the mute button on your stereo

    On one of my Celicas a previous owner cut off the factory stereo plugs instead of using a new stereo interface wiring harness. That made it a little more of a challenge to wire my new stereo deck.

    haha I think every single used car I've ever owned has had the factory stereo harness plug cut off..

    If you want to rewire it, pretty much any Toyota from '86-2004 used the same harness for the stereo. Hit up a pull a part yard and clip the 2 plugs off of just about any car. As long as it has the 2 plug stereo harness, it will work just fine ...:D

    Agreed. Just recently I have found two radio harness adapters in the junkyards. These allow installation of a new stereo without cutting the factory plugs. They are cheap cheap cheap on eBay too.
