ok just installed a system in my car and i have a few problems. to a 4 ch amp i have the front splits(one channel each) and 1 12" sub (2ch bridged). the deck on had 1 pair of rca pre outs so i used spliters to make it to 2 pairs of rca pr outs.

the problem is even with all everything turned up on the amp the music is still very low volume. could anyone help me

lol, I am having exactly the same problem :)....do you have an Alpine head unit?

so you have run 2 sets of RCA's, 1 for channels 1&2 for the splits and 1 for channels 3&4 for the sub?!

first try changing the cross over settings on the amp using a small screw driver or your finger nail. Also there should be 2 HPF/LPF (High/Low Pass FIlter) switches, make sure you have it set to high pass for the splits and low pass for the sub

I have mine setup like this with still a few problems, I think my problem is the RCA connections in the back of the deck.....

have fun!

    • Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers
    • Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits 
    • In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly
    • I've got 60L of e85 in there at the moment
    • Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
