Newbie with a problem

[coxy944]

Hi guys I'm Jack and I'm new to the forum so will apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong section.

I have had my 2 way components into my car with sound dampening on the door skins for around a month now running of deck power but I found a 2ch amp in my house so hooked that up to them instead of running it off the deck now they don't sound half as good as they used to, witch i find strange as when i amped my components in my old car the instantly came alive. Thinking about it they were on the same amp as I'm using now

is there something simple I am missing here?

thanks in advance

settings on the amp head unit? wired wrong?

Don't really know without seeing what you have. What amp, speakers, head unit?

[truthsayer]

Do you have the frequencie hp/low/full set right? Is that set to full?

thanks for the replys, everything is set to flat on the amp with lp/hp filters off all the wires are right etc amp is a jbl gt a402 running focal 130as components with silent coated dampened doors

Ya main thing I can think of is triple check wires. Check for polarity, but if that's good, check the wire, pinches, cuts, shorting out etc. If not, check RCA's. Lastly, or firstly if you prefer, hook up another spare speaker with a different speaker wire to the amp to test. Or even a different RCA cable. Check RCA's on back of deck are in proper slot, and sometimes decks have a FRONT/REAR, REAR/REAR, or REAR/SUB setting.

Last ditch effort, hook it up somewhere else (amp) and test with good known speaks/wiring.
