You know there is an amp for sure? you might have to wire from the head unit to the output of the amp to tap into each speaker or go from the head unit directly to each speaker bypassing the amp with your own spoeaker wire. If you don't have a multi meter to test for each speaker you can use a small battery and "pop" the speaker by touching the + and - of the speaker wire to the + and - of the battery. I would check online to get the wire colors of the speakers first just to be safe

thanks for the help, i know there is an amp for sure, and i also know which color goes to each speaker. i was hoping to not have to wire up each speaker i will try and use the wires by the amp and see what happends.....

If you want to do it right (well the best way) run a new wire directly to each speaker rather than use the 20+ year old wire and connectors

My guess is your wiring is off. Speakers only need power and ground. No amp needed.

Some Supras came with an integrated amp, located under the passenger seat. If you just replace the head unit in one of these cars, it tends to not work well.

ya there was an amp under the seat and it was not getting power and then cutting off my signal to each speaker, i took out the amp and cut the plugs off and ran them together to bypass the amp.
