I am installing a kenwood ddx372bt into my fosgate xterra. I can get power but no sound. I have a blue/white and a black/white not connected. I suspect this is part of the issue but I do not know where to connect them. This is my first install......in case it was not obvious.

cheers,

All the wiring functions are in the factory wiring diagrams. Since I don't know what year X you own, go here:

Where you go from there depends on what year you have. The first gen stereo info is in the electrical system chapter. Later on the info was put in a separate chapter. "fwd.pdf" is the table of contents. The wiring color codes can be found in chapter GI under "how to read wiring diagrams".

thanks for your help. I did not have the amp power hooked. (blue and white cable to the P.cont) works now. The only current issue is the loud pop when switching form dvd to iPod to tuner ...ect. Is this a grounding issue or do I need to get a ground loop isolator?

Thanks again!

likely a grounding issue. make sure your ground points are free of paint. It may also help to ground all components at the same location. also check any RCA connections you may have.
