HU Installed Only subs come on, not speakers...

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 607 Registered: May-06 | Ok I got the HU installed and such, but none of the speakers come on... The subs do, but no speakers.. weird. I twisted the + and - on the alpine harness together and the + and - from the regular harness (front left speaker) and then soldered that together so there were 4 wires there.. I did this to the front right, rear left, rear right, and no sound coming from my speakers at all....... =( |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 355 Registered: Nov-06 | are you saying you soldered all 4 together? if not i dunno but the way you put it it kinda sounds like it. |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 357 Registered: Nov-06 | well that explains it then lol. you have shorted them. i said im done arguing so i'll keep my mouth shut. anyway you gotta undo all that and put the + and - for each speaker soldered together then electicians tape/heat shrink em if you can. but at least do the tape. there was probably a diagram with your deck in the owners manual. |

USA Post Number: 2920 Registered: Jan-06 | john, something is definately wired wrong...the + for each speaker should be wired to the + wire for that speaker ONLY, same goes for the - of each speaker, hope that helps..kinda hard to figure out what you've done wrong...but there should not be 4 wires together. |

Silver Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 834 Registered: Oct-05 | john u have the polarity for HU to Speakers opposite of what they should. You say u twisted the - to the +. Do the opposite and it should work bro, also never solder until u know for sure that its right, do this by going yp to the hood and REconnecting the ground on ur batt and test out with low level music and hear what speakers work and whatnot. Good luck |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 363 Registered: Nov-06 | umm how did i tell you to wire it wrong? i wired my hu fine. you got me confused here. and i wasn't trying to be a dick or anything, i was serious. you gotta make sure you know what you're doing before you try installing anything. |

Silver Member Username: QuigPgH, PA US Post Number: 539 Registered: Sep-05 | john, this thread is very confusing me... but correct me if im wrong... u put all the pos, and all neg together? u can do that... all are seperate... they are color coded... for example purple... u take purple neg to purple neg, tape it... purple pos to purple pos, tape... it etc.... john u hav hell of craftsmanship, but im with cam u need to stay away from installing... but hey ur like me u need to fuhk up to lern... trust me in the begining i wasted lots of money to lern sheit... go on www.bcae1.com and read around thats wat i did wen i was new to car audio... taught me a ton of sheit. |

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 613 Registered: May-06 | Well what threw me off was a wiring diagram from that install website. I had done it pos to pos and neg to neg at first, but I didnt get much sound. Then I did it this way and my HU went on fire. I put it back the old way now after phuckin ever, and it works on tuner mode speakers and everything, but when I put a cd in, no speakers work whatsoever just the subs.. All i hear is bass and no vocals.. Any idea? I read a shitload before hand and have asked around a lot. The speaker thing threw me off at the beginning, there must have been a loose connection when I did it right the first time.. |

Silver Member Username: QuigPgH, PA US Post Number: 546 Registered: Sep-05 | well... first, i suggest watching somebody that knows what there doing ATLEAST one time for each thing... unless your willing to take the risk of lerning it on ur own and possibly wasting money... IMO head unit is the easiest thing to install in car audio, next to splicing 2 wires together for componets but other then that its HU.... ummm as for there being no sound... do you turn the volume 3/4s up? did u check ur HU settings, to make sure it didnt reset or is faded up fron, or back.. did u turn ur highs, mids up, and lows down... (i bet thats wat it is) becuz wen u unplug hu and plug back in it resets, and turns the high, mid, low to 0.. you want the low -what ever, and highs and mids + all the way... lemme know. |

Fade/Bass/Trebel/Balance are all adjusted properly. Loud Feature has been tried on and off, There is one where you set the HPF to off, 80hz, 120hz 240hz or something like that.. I have tried all of that.. Volume is up enough so that if the speakers were on, you would hear vocals, because the subs pound still. |
