Not real sure what all is done to my car Just picked her up. It does have an Eclipse cd3200 H.U.. When I turn on the radio the speakers thump. There are no subs or aftermarket amps.

I guess not a prob just an anoyance. Everytime I turn on the radio I get a loud thunp from the amps turning on. Not sure if I went to a differnt harness if I could eliminate the thump

Lol, he's not talking about thump in the sense of bass. He's talking about a sudden "surge" of sound that comes on when an amplifier turns on after the head unit.
As for the original issue, are you 100% certain there isn't an aftermarket amplifier somewhere in there? It would be very unusual for just a deck to cause that issue at turn on.
With an aftermarket amp, I believe a solution is to put a resistor in line with the speakers to prevent this from happening. Maybe possible with a factory system as well.
I haven't found any yet. may try to get a new head unit. The guy at the custom shop that just did my windows said that the one i have is pretty old.
Update: I was removing the radio trim panel to paint it and ended up removing half my dash lol. So anyways here is what I found. The harness they used to adapt to the factory wiring only has one large plu and a smaller plug connected to a grey wire and small black terminal. Now where I am confused is there are three of the grey wires with black terminals and only one is connected. I am guessing these leads go to the factory amps. Is something wrong or is this normal?
