CASZ71 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ok so yesterday i picked up an audiobahn a200v to run my front door speakers.. So i get up today to install it and i had to take the back seat out wire everything how i thought it should be and anyways took me 4 hours.. so finally i got it wired and turned on the head unit and my front speakers sounds like shit!! so this is how i wired it.. I bought a wiring harness when i first got my system and today i put the speaker wires from the amp to the wiring harness.. I think that may be my problem.. cause i can turn the amp off and still here some sound from the speakers.. should i have cut the factory harness and wired it into that?? or did i do it right?? what could my problem be???

BulletInjection Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) ? what the heck? from the amp TO the wire harness? I have not seen but a few speaker installs by other people but I haven't seen that?? Why didn't you just run it from the amp straight to the speakers? I think that would have been easier and more efficient. edit:fail @ spelling Edited August 28, 2009 by BulletInjection Quote My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASZ71 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 That would be the best way to do it i know and i dont wana sound like a dumb ass but it would be really hard to do on my truck bc.. first of all i couldnt hide the wires bc there is the rubber thing on the side that the wire runs through and to get it to that... i dont even know how.. second of all i dont have much wire.. Is there a way to run through the factory harness??

Beanz Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 well then ditch the amp and run it on your factory harness.casue theres no way you could run the amp with the factory harness.now just go buy some wire at a local car shop and run it down near the doors.just remove the plastic thingy.If not your best step is to get a shop to do it for you and run the wire for you.

Bunker Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hes talking about the boot from door to cab. Fish tape will work. Running the amp to the harness is for sure your problem.

z71kris Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 There are a couple of ways of trying to run it like you are thinking, well really one, you would have to make sure you cut the door speakers wires out of the harness, and then tie your amp wires into those wires for the door speakers so the only signal would be coming from the amp and not from the amp and HU, if you did that you would be ok, but it would be best for you to run the wires from the amp to the speakers in the door, you will have to pull away the carpeting and trim panels around the door to get to be able to see your grommet or rubber boot, and then fight the wires through there, metal close hanger and electrical tape works well for me when snaking wires. Hope that helps and not confuses..
