Problem with sub and amp

by **StockSolara** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 1:32 am

I'm trying install the amp and sub into my car and the way my set up was to have a two way splitter for the wires in the back speakers to go into the amp and then the sub. The problem is that when ever I turn off the car and turn it back on the sub and the back speakers do not work but when I unplugged the speaker wires from the amp it rear speakers go back on and then I plug it in the sub works again. So I really can not figure out why when I turn off my car the sub and rear speakers would not work.

Thanks ahead of times for your input

alright seems like no one knows the answer to my previous question well now i have another. . . me and my dad tried another approach to run RCA wires from the head unit. . . but the stock one DOES NOT have them. . . I was wondering if any of you guys can please help me out on this wiring.

a little grammar goes a long way. I read that over about 3 times and I still have no idea how you have your stuff wired.

is the amp powered on when the sub does not work?

Check that the remote wire is secure if the amp wont switch on properly. Also, if you are tapping into your 6x9's you better be using some sort of speaker-level input. RCA's from the headunit are still the best way to go I think. How many watts are you pushing and what gauge wire is delivering the power?

well u might want to take it to a shop and get it done the right way, u dont want to mickey mouse it if u dont know what ur doing, or if u want to save money jus by an amp kit for like $20 and u can buy a converter to change ur wires in to rca's ($15) and diy. well good luck with that
