Put in new head unit, now won't work!

Well I installed a Pioneer head unit that I know works and I put it all back together to only find it doesn't turn on.. I looked at the wires and some are taped and cut and exposed wires.. I saw the gray one was cut in half so I reconnected it and still no luck.. Anyone have any sugesstions? 1991 firebird gta btw.

Sounds like you need to patch your radio harness up a bit.

Make sure the yellow (12V+), red (ignition switch), and black (ground) wires are connected and not cut anywhere. Make sure nothing is grounding out. Check your fuses in the back of the radio and under the dash.
