Last second speaker/amp install questions

really easy, just follow the little icons on the amp. stick a small flathead screwdriver in the crossover/ frequency adjuster, and smoothly rotate it all the way counter clockwise. it will stop at 40hz if it's not already there.

the high pass, if you look through the square opening, there's a switch in there, and it's currently set to 'full', or the middle position. using the same screwdriver, insert it into the 'lpf' side, and push the switch over to the far right position, that will make the 40hz crossover active for high pass.




you're doing fine, most of us learned this stuff by just doing it, mostly by screwing something up. the main trick is to try to keep your head unit volume and your gain low, get everything connected, then slowly ramp everything up later during testing to verify that you got your settings right.

anyone that's into car audio that hasn't accidently ran their tweeters with a midrange/subwoofer signal at least once is lying!

just beware, the pioneers have some really funky default audio modes. leave the amps 'remote' wire disconnected at first until you can get into the head unit, turn down the volume, and adjust the settings as you need first.

 

All hooked up now. Messy now cus I wanna make sure it works first

 

Ok so I don’t have any sound coming out of the front speakers. Just my rear ones that are still connected to the factory wiring and HU. I can hear them sort of “click” when I unplug/plug in the RCAs and when I turn the volume back to zero. HU audio is set to rear/rear like kwikvette said. EQ is set to flat. I sanded my ground to metal on metal. The amp is on cus I can see the on light.
I feel like this is probably something super simple that I’m just missing.

 

Maybe remove the filtering on the amp itself.

You did connect your front speakers to channel A which corresponds to the RCA plugs being connected to channel A right?

Also, make sure you sand the paint off the metal grounding point on your vehicle.

 

Do I even have a filter setting. RCAs should be good right? And yes paint is sanded down

 

Almost suspecting the ground. There looks like there’s another layer beneath this layer of metal. You can’t see in the pic

 

LPF OFF HPF

Low pass filter

Off (filter removed)

High pass filter

@soundman98 touched on this earlier

 

Shit you’re right. Just tried it. No difference

 

Have you verified signal out via speaker wire from your amp with a multimeter?

Does the amp turn on when accessories are on and a signal is received from your headunit?

Changed the settings in your headunit to Rear/Rear as mentioned earlier?

 

and what is your gain knob set to?

 

Looked normal, or all the way up.

Had considered that too.

 

Idk what I did but now it’s working!!!
I went back to the audio settings and switched it to rear/sub and another setting. When those didn’t work I went back to rear/rear and immediately the music started playing. Tweeter sounds fuzzy so I’m gonna start tweaking things

 

Yeah I'm guessing your settings weren't saved or set properly from the get go.
