Been messing around with my speakers all day installing a http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_74605_Pioneer-GM-A6604.html to;

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/A-Series/TS-A1685R in the front doors
and
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/A-Series/TS-A6985R in the back deck

Everything is hooked up correctly ( to the best of my knowledge ) , and sound is coming out of all 4 speakers.
However, it is ONLY the bass. If I turn my "subwoofer" setting off on my head unit, there is no sound.
I have the HP/LP setting to "off".

My headunit only has 1 set of RCA (R/L) , it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I have the output on 4channel or 2 channel.
i have all 4 speakers in individual channels, do I need to bridge them?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


EDIT: GODDAMNIT. Just checked the page for my amp and realized it doesn't show a frequency response.. Meaning it probably only plays subwoofer output.
Hopefully someone can confirm for me whether this is the problem or not.. but I'm 99% sure i'm just an idiot and bought the wrong thing.

Nevermind, did more research and found out I didn't wire the speaker input in. I was just using RCA cables like I would for subwoofers.
Hoping that fixing that in morning will fix my problem.

i dont use a/b amps but im pretty sure you want to turn the subwoofer off? then turn both settings to hpf and adjust your freq on the amp. lp is for lows while the hpf is for high preferable your door speakers.

if you have that amp bridged youll need to tune in both channels equally i believe?

thats what i think. i always just run a dedicated amp for my speakers and a dedicated amp for my subs. ive never used 1 amp for subs and doors.


your headunit only has 1 preout?

that might be your problem that amp looks like it need 2 sets of preouts run run both channels together bridged

if bridged i think youll use channel 2 setting is not bridged than switch it to channel 4.
