P38A Changed doors now no sound? (Apart from the tinkle of spanners as I throw them about)!

Well I have changed the tailgates, two doors, drivers door handle, osf wing, lights and quite pleased with slow progress. But the new doors have the HK sound and it appears there are door amplifiers, my 95 dt has nothing as sophisticated. There the two door connectors fit, but the door audio(?) connector has two black wires in one connection. I would like to have a go at making it work or do I either strip the speaker wiring harness from old door and reinstall in new or make a new wiring harness for the new door?

But having looked on RAV, the amplifiers seem to have a wire coming from the door out station. Does this switch on the amplifier? Does it work with a high or low signal? Assuming high, where in the door is a wire with 12v that is on when the ignition key is in?

Could I connect 5 to 9 on the in door amplifier. And disconnect 5(amplifier) from 12(out station)?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If you didn't have HK, and you have tried to fit doors with HK...they won't work I believe, as they are driven from a separate unit in the boot....I think.....

Best to retro fit your old door internals to the new doors
 
Hi, All,
Just to say have managed to get some sound from my speakers and I went for the option of connecting the grey signal wire to the positive to the purple wire. Only snag is a buzz when unlocked and door electrics active. Buzz goes when door locked, not sure of current drain nor if I can live with it but sound quite good...........
