New to forum/replacing stock stereo

[maddog234]

Hey everybody,

This is my first forum ever and in fact, my '95 318ti is my first car ever. I bought it on Sept. 4 of this year and am completely in love with it!!!

I guess I first wanna say this forum looks amazing. Just reading through it a little bit I've learned a lot!! I hope my forum etiquette is alright for everybody, i'm not sure how formal these things get.

Anyway, just want to give a 'thank you' to everybody and hopefully i'll learn a thing or 2!!

My first question is how to install a kenwood stereo. I've pulled out the old one and i have the 'required wiring harness' (at least that's what crutchfield said). I've soldered the wires together but I only get power, nothing else, not even a hum in the speakers. Am i missing something or should i just do a guess/check method for all the wires? I'd really appreciate any advice! thanks again!
