  1. Matthew, it sounds like your 1996 Chrysler Town and Country may be faulty. Take your vehicle to an experienced audio installer or your local Chrysler dealer and have them troubleshoot your audio system. Another option is to re-wire your radio straight to the speakers themselves (skipping the factory amplifier). Hope this helps. Good luck.

    My 96 Chrysler T&C has only the front speakers (dash) and the rear speakers (small ones facing to the front, not the big ones) working. I thought the radio was shot so I put a new Chrysler radio in. I have checked your wiring page (very nice thank you) and everything seems to be working. The door speakerrs and the big back ones have NO sound coming from them. I have taken the entire front of the car apart but the wiring disapears behing the dash and I don’t where or how to test it and find where the problem is…do you have any suggestions? My father and I bought this a few years ago, but I need an older car for my job (lots of driving) and the radio keeps me sane. Maybe the amp is shot? Where is that? I found something at the very bottom of the fron center panel directly under the radio. Is that it?

    Thanks,

    Matthew

  3. Christine, using a wiring adapter harness (special plug) is standard practice when installing an aftermarket radio. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the special plug only provides provisions for 4 speakers so that might be what the installer meant when they said only 4 of the 6 speakers will work. The installers that told you that they need to run more wires are planning on physically running new wires from the radio to each speaker, bypassing the factory amplifier (instead of using the stock amplifier to provide an audio signal to each speaker). Maybe someone with more expertise with this vehicle can chime in. Hope this helps. Good luck.

  4. I have a 95 Chrysler Town and Country Van. I’ve gone to a few places looking to buy a decent CD player and have it installed. A few of the places have given me a run around about it. They told me that because 4 of my 6 speakers are running off an amplifier they would have to run a “9 wire” (they didn’t say gage they just said 9 wire….) from the speakers to the stereo or the amp to the stereo (they REALLY confused me!!) They also told me that my two dash speakers wouldn’t work unless I hooked them up to a separate amplifier (which I would of course have to buy and have installed) Supposedly the stock amp is located behind a back interior panel. The wire is supposedly going to cost me $40 and labor just for rewiring that stock amp (not installing the stereo, or an additional amp) would be $80. I feel like I’m being ripped off or that I’m being lied to, although two separate retailers have told me pretty much the same thing now. One of the two retailers did tell me I could purchase a “special plug” that would eliminate the need to bypass the amp. I am completely confused, and I hope at least some of what I said made some sort of sense to you. I am searching for information about what these people have told me. I want to see where it says that you have to bypass this amp and that my dash speakers wont work if I install an after market stereo before I dish out the $300-400 it’s going to cost me to get a CD player working with only 4 of my speakers…
    I would sincerely appreciate any information you can give me on this.
    THANK YOU!
