Ok I'm gonna explain step by step in detail what I have done and experienced so maybe I can get some help. I bought a cd player and speakers for my sea ray. It is an older boat and had a cassette player and obviously I'm not finding a wiring harness so I knew I'd be splacing. I connected the red and yellow wires on the new cd pkayer both to the red wire on the old cd player. I then just pushed the knew ground onto the threads of a screw. The cd player was turning on and seemed to be working fine. I startted the process of removing the old speakers and was installing the first speaker. I got it hooked up sat up and no power on the cd player. I have tried for hours to get it powered again. U doing the red and yellow rehooking them, taking off the ground putting it back onto screw and all no luck. I'm thinking one of 2 things either I'm doing something wrong with the ground and it was a fluke that it worked because I saw where your supposed to use a common ground which I have noo idea what that is, or maybe the red wire on the old unit isn't good or has a short. Any sort of info would be helpful as I would rather do this myself instead of taking it so a shop. Thanks.
