this is my current setup. or well i think it is how it is wired. does it look right?
i was wondering if i get a decent amp and sub how much worse will it be to use the high level speaker level input rather than RCA? i want to keep my stock head unit so no shitheads break in..
As I told ya, upgrade your head unit first and foremost. You don't need to go fancy fancy, just something good enough to run subs/amps decently.
Or play with your amp settings or setup, but I personally doubt it'd make a difference.
Maybe someone else can offer some insight.
And again I can't make sense of your diagram ;)
ill tell u this u didnt wire it right im surprised its even working from ur diagram
another tip find out ur RMS out put from ur amp find out ur RMS on ur subs
excample my setup 1 800 RMS sub 1 600 RMS Amp
yeah, your gonna have to get another head unit if you really want it to sound nice. jack one off a honda haha
its not wired like that. thats just how i thought it was wired? i didnt install it professionals did. i dont know how the wiring really is but i would like to find out.Quote:

how can we help u unless you show a real diagram.. not what you think, there is no reason your amp would be grounded to the head unit, the ground should be as short as possible. Just buy a cheap pioneer head unit, no one will want to steal it and it will tie your system together..

The above link does the job and won't cause anyone to break in imo
Yeah, Pioneer definitely do the job, and in the long run an alarm will be a good idea anyways, especially insurance wise, as it will decrease your premiums. But yeah, get an older Pioneer. As I said, it doesn't need to be flash.
I tell you now, if it was wired by proffessionals, it should be ok. I don't think at all your wiring is the problem.

Get yourself a hi/lo converter to keep your stock deck. Easy to install, but only downfall to this is not being able to control your lows from your head unit. Unless you have an amp with a control knob. Sound quality is okay but never the same if you had an aftermarket deck.
thanks. yeh im gonna have to think about it. thansk everyneQuote:

ok first pic is the correct way
second pic what i would choose for ur setup what u see in the yellow box is an EQ curcle in red means do not connect it there in green would be where u connect them

thanks !!!!! exactly what ive been looking for
the reason i would get an eq would be to control ur sub which will sound better than if u just hook it up straight to the head unit i would also replace ur rear speakers to sound a lil better just make sure u hook up ur high level to the 2 rear lines unless its a 4 channel
just buy the cheap pioneer with detatchable face and some decent rca's and call it a day but with 1kicker comp it may not change too much maaaby a lil bit cleaner bass insted of your sub acting like a giant mid range speaker
awk. im might buy a lower end alpine. eazy e had one so i should get one :PQuote:

i paid 40 open box and sounds really good
ok lol i will, ill just geta pioneer thanks!!. but remember eazy e has a son called lil eazy e lol
