Jake, first double check ALL your fuses and make sure ALL your fuses are good. You can do this by using an Automotive Fuse Tester and making sure all of your fuses are not blown. If all of your fuses are good, your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee factory amplifier may be faulty. We suggest you take your car to an experienced audio installer and have them troubleshoot your problem. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee radio troubleshooting.
I have installed a aftermaket stereo and it turns on fine but the speakers dont play and i have hooked up my amp the way previosly decribed and it still didnt work. Can you help?
Coleton, yes you can hook up your an amplifier and subwoofer to your stock stereo. You will need some aftermarket electronics to hook up a subwoofer to your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee factory stereo. You will need five components:
1. Car Subwoofer
2. Car Subwoofer Box to house your car subwoofer.
3. Car Audio Amplifier that matches your subwoofer power needs and ohm rating.
4. Car Amplifier Wiring Kit that can handle the power needs of your amplifier.
5. RCA Line Out Converter to feed an audio signal from your factory radio to your aftermarket amplifier.
First run all your amplifier power from your car battery to where you plan on mounting your amplifier. Next, run your ground wire from your grounding point to your amplifier. Wire up the RCA Line Out Converter to the rear speaker wires to get a full range audio source. Next, connect one end of your RCA jacks to the Line Out Converter and the other end of the RCA jacks to your amplifier. This will provide an audio signal to your after market amp. Lastly, connect your subwoofer to your after market amplifier using the speaker wire in the amplifier wiring kit. If you’ve never installed car audio before, we advise you to take your car to an experienced mobile audio installer. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee amplifier and subwoofer installation.
is there a factory amp? is it possible to hook up a aftermarket subwoofer to my stock stereo?
Marcelis, you can replace your factory speakers with aftermarket speakers and amplifier. Most late model vehicles do not have RCA outputs on the factory radio to feed an audio signal to your aftermarket amplifier. You would have to install a line out converter to supply an audio output. Here is the Line-Out Converter you need:
Scosche 2-Channel Speaker to RCA Line Out Converter
When splicing in the RCA Line Out Converter, tap your factory rear speaker wires to get a full range audio source. We suggest you invest in some solid wire taps that wont come loose. These wire tap connectors will allow you to tap into wires without cutting and installs in seconds by hand with no crimping or tools required. If you install a line out converter, your rear speakers will still work properly. If you’ve never installed car audio before, we advise you to take your car to an experienced mobile audio installer. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee amplifier and speaker installation.
I want to hook up my two voice speakers and amp without an aftermarket radio i want to know is that possible my girlfriend spent alot of money on them i just dnt want them to go to waste in a closet.
I am installing a new stereo system in my 97 jeep grand cherokee laredo, and am having the same problem. my question is which wire is the amp turn on wire coming from the factory amp?
Casey, your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee may has a factory amplifier that needs to be turned on by your after market radio. The car stereo amplifier trigger wire has to be wired up to turn on your factory amplifier. Please refer to the post by So Simple above. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee amplifier wiring.
i just put a new cd player in my jeep and i can get the sound to come out the speaker i have hook many up before but this is the first time that i had this happen did i do something wrong are am i missing anything
So Simple, thanks for the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee wiring information contribution!
Ok if your vehicle doesn’t have power antenna, connect your amp turn on wire on the radio (blue&white) to the (blue) antenna wire on the harness.
Jordan, your vehicle may have a factory amplifier that needs to be turned on by your after market radio. Unfortunately, we don’t have this information but maybe someone from the Modified Life community can post that information here. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I put a new head unit in my Jeep so that I could hook up subs and an amp, but my speakers are not working with everything hooked up. The only thing that plays are the subs. Why could this be?
