Problem With New Speakers

[08grey]

It just converts the signal going to the speakers to a output you can add a amp with.

Looking at the pictures you have a 5 channel ppi amp with all monster cables.

That's top of the line stuff. Whoever installed that did not go cheap. You have a good foundation to work with.

I just made a new discovery lol.. This guy used two 2 channel converter boxes.. Is that normal?

 

[Black99]

Update: the 2 front door speakers just completely cut out for no reason, did the converter box blow?

 

[08grey]

Check amp. First. Make sure a RCA did not pull out or a fuse blown

 

[Black99]

Dumb question, how can I tell if one of those flat fuses is blown?

 

[08grey]

It will be separated. Inside is a small piece of metal u shaped. It will have a break in it.

Your not studying the12volt.com.

 

[Black99]

Ah must have missed that one. So I checked the amp fuses and they are both intact. What is going on here!

 

[08grey]

Did you check the RCA cable?

 

[Black99]

All plugged in

 

[08grey]

I don't mean to be funny but did you check the fader on the radio?

 

[Black99]

Yes lol and I even faded it to front and back just to see. Rear speakers and sub play fine but nothing from font even when fader is set to play just front

I would start with rewiring the boxes, butt connectors are horrible Solder wires and use heat shrink.

 

[Black99]

do you think the box that handles the front speakers could have blown itself out? would there be a way for me to test it

 

[08grey]

The way to test it is to swap the RCA cables and see if it plays vice versa.

 

[Black99]

Figured I might as well use this thread for yet a new problem lol. I was driving and all of a sudden all the speakers cut out for no reason. If i turn up the volume REALLY loud the bass hits and you can hear a muffled sound coming out of another speaker. I swapped the RCA cables and that didn't fix it. All the speakers are new so pretty sure they did not blow out. Do you think my converter boxes are bad? How would I test that without having to get new ones

 

[SunlitComet]

will likely have to try swapping one really. but i would like to know how your speakers and sub-woofer are specifically wired with what type of component and in what order.

 

[jerryjoe28]

man with all the problems ur having it really sounds like u have something shorting out or just plain wired wrong. I would really recommend dumping the factory radio and getting a decent aftermarket head unit with built in rca jacks. the COMPLETELY re run your wires. take your time and do it rite.

I'm having a very similar problem myself. Replaced all the door speakers and the 4x10's. The door speakers sound very bad. I was wondering if the problem is the factory amp and is there a way to bypass it. I have an aftermarket radio and when volume is up all sounds stops. No aftermarket amps at all.

 

[SunlitComet]

the rear doors are powered by the factory amp if optioned. are those the only ones that are bad or do the fronts sound bad too?

 

[tooslowtahoe]

The front sounds bad as well. I'm thinking
Of doing a 4 channel amp to hopefully eliminate the sound going out and the actual sound quility.
