Right. The CR-208 was a bit knackered on the 940 I bought, so I'm trying to replace it with a Sony CD/Radio. I've followed the instructions in the pdf in the topic below:

Everything went ok up until I needed to wire up the speakers. The new head unit is wired up with power, and I can see from its equalizer that it thinks it's playing something. Unfortunately I can't get any sound to come out of my speakers!

I've cut the wires from the rectangular connector that originally went into the volvo pre-amp, and the guide I'm following lists wire colours which match the 8 wires I've cut.
I've tried the battery test as suggested on the wire pairs which *should* correspond to each speaker, but no popping noise. Connecting them up with an ohm meter gives me readings of 4-600kOhm across every possible pairing of the wires.

Can anyone send some ideas my way? Thanks!
