Answer
Hi Jose,

Is your Chrysler 300 originally equipped with a Boston Acoustics audio system?  If so, you'll need a special adapter to integrate the new head unit with the factory amplifier system.  The Metra part number for the adapter is CHTO-01.

If you don't have the Boston Acoustics system, your problem may be caused by a pinched or shorted speaker wire, or a speaker wiring error.

Hope this helps!
