No sound though speakers! I just installed a new head unit and put a new harness in. All the wires were connected as they should be but when I went to turn on head unit there was no sound. I made sure everything was properly connected and all was fine. The head unit functions work fine just no sound/nothing. If anybody could help me out with this it would be awesome!

Sorry, I don't quite get what you're asking ("new head unit amp from head unit")?
Let's start with the basics. You installed a new head unit with a wiring harness adapter and nothing else? What make/model head unit? Do you have a Monsoon system? Was it working before the new HU? Does it work again if you put the original HU back in?

Forget all that ha thanks though. One thing that I don't know about is the front door speakers. They're 2 ohm and the ones i'm putting in are 4 ohm. My question now is there's 2 pos and 2 neg wires that went to the stock speaker so should I just put 1pos and 1neg and 2 pos and 2 new on the new 4 ohm speaker?

Installing 4-ohm speakers in place of the factory 2-ohm speakers WILL NOT cause a "no sound" condition so that is not the cause of your problem.
Please read the Monsoon FAQ sticky at the top of the section. The two pairs of wires in the doors are for two separate channels (tweeter and mid) from the Monsoon amp and MUST NOT be combined on a single speaker. Basically, you bought the wrong speakers for the car but they can be used by connecting only the mid's wires and taping up the tweeter wires. You give up half the power but it will work. Another option if you bought coaxial speakers is to modify them so the mid and tweeter are electrically separated and then connect the original wire pairs to the corresponding drivers.
