    Hi to all. First time posting so hopefully I have this in the right forum.

    I recently installed an aftermarket deck in my truck to replace my concert class Delphi radio. I got an adapter harness for it but it only came with one plug that covered all the basics. My radio had two plugs on the back, the second plug on the back has three wires that I'm not sure where they belong. Does any one know where these wires belong or what they do?

    I've also noticed my factory subwoofer under the bed doesn't work. I'm not sure if it was working prior to the radio swap or not. The plug to the sub has 4 pin connector (2red and 2 black) and checking with a test light 2 have power and 2 do not (1red and 1 black have power). Does anyone have any tips on getting this thing working.

    Thanks for any help

    Here are some things to take a look at. It lists the 3 wires as signal to the amp and 2 wires for the sound.

    Hey.. in 2015 386.. ser# 258772. Would you also be able to tell me amp location and power spec ratings etc ? Or even the pages that discuss the system. Looking to upgrade and deciding what to keep etc. Flyfishingdude on the G mail place... tks.

    Truck is actually a 2015 348 medium duty unless the serial number is incorrect. No amp on it, just head unit to speakers.
    If you want a good system ditch everything and start fresh

    Dam. Sorry. 258722... my bad thumbs.. According to those diagrams it shows all speakers at 2 ohm which is weird and 4x6b and 6" all are mid bass? Are they choked at the speaker or is there a crossovrer point on the amp itself? Whole setup seems strange ...lol.

    Truck is a 2015 367 not 386.
    If you intend to do a system upgrade, best start from scratch with a new head unit and amp...
