901 with 850r amp question

Recommended Posts

i have a 901 radio I tried in my car with a 850 r amp that I just got also, I do have the v70 amp to go with the 901 just waiting on the harness to get here.  When plugged the 901 into my plugs it only plays the front tweeters in the dash. The only cord I am missing from plugging stuff in the back of it is the green plug that I believe is a single wire plug and the Dolby digital plug in the back.  Would me not having the Dolby processor cause it not to play through the rest of the speakers? Or is the 850 amp not doing its job?

The wiring harness is one that comes with the 850 r amp is the one I'm using with the 850r amp. Having a hard time putting a picture up but here's one on eBay look at the 8th picture it'll show the back of it. The fade and balance was messed with no difference

Look at this on eBay:

I used an 850R amp with my SC-901 for years and it worked perfectly - no audio difference to using the V70R amp as both are 4x50 watt. You don't need the Dolby processor. Picture is a little blurred, but here is the 850R amp and harness I recently sold if that helps to compare:

Easy enough to check with a known good SC-815.

But it still comes down to having the right harness 

and making sure it's connected correctly.

That's why I asked for pics - And to clarify,

of your harness as it's connected in your car.
