JayP Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Speakers- (2) Pioneer speakers. 260 peak. 50 RMS. (2) Kenwood speakers. 200 Peak. 40 RMS. (1) 12" Audiobahn SE (special edition) Headunit- Pioneer DEH-7500mp (not sure about the model number but it looks exactly alike.) Amp- Crunch http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_...h_BMX_4100.aspx The headunit does not seem to output sounds to the speakers when hooked up to a wire harness. There is a DUAL head unit in the car as of now that works and when I took that off, I plugged the pioneer up to the wire harness the same way the DUAL came off and no output. I could hear the stereo beep while pressing buttons, but nothing came from the speakers. What can this be? Would it possibly output sound if I hook it up to the amp with RCA connections, then run the amp to the speakers? I don't know what to do really. I want to hook up the speakers most of all and the sub if I can. The amp is only 4 channels and that will be going to the 4 speakers so no sub. I don't think the speakers can handle the power but idk... The amp does 4 ohms each channel with 100 watts per channel which is the lowest power I think. Or should I just hook up the amp to the sub? The amp will do 2 channels of 300 watts per channel. The sub is rated at 400RMS and 800peak (approx) I think the sub may be underpowered. :\ What do I do!!!!??? I just want to hook something up for my first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayP Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Put on of each speaker on the frony two channelbridge the back two on the sub. like this Channel 1 1pioneer and 1 kenwood Channel 2 1pioneer and 1 kenwood Channel 3 Positive on sub Channel 4 Negative on sub as good as you are gonna get with what ya got. put that sub in a really decent box and it shouldnt sound too bad Thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it! The sub is already in a box from the audio shop they put it in. Any suggestions on a wiring kit? What all would I need to hook it up? I see they have "caps" and some sort of terminal for the positive. But I think those are not necessary. However I do know I need a FUSE at least 12 inches from the positive battery terminal, right? And I think that is all? Wiring kit, speaker wire, and a fuse. What gauge wire should I look for the amp positive, negative, and speaker wires? EDIT: also, I know nothing about the box or what it's tuned at. I am thinking on making my own ported box for it though. I see 32hz is very popular. Can I do that?

hotshot27 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13218_...allBay+AK4.html not the best wiring kit in the world, but it should work for your application As far as a box goes, depends on what you listen to. If you want to be pretty loud on rap and hip hop, tune around 35-36hz If you want a flatter response and a little more rumble, tune 30-32hz Quote Current Setup: Factory HU with LOC mids/highs-Insignia components Sub- E8 in bass tube Amp- sae-1200d Show Setup: HU-Sony MEX-1HD (brings massive respect for sony) fronts - Infinity Kappa perfect comps rears- Infinity Kappa coax mid/high amp - Autotek 5600 Subs - 2 RE SE 15's Sub Amps - 2xSAE-1200D Box - 5cubes sealed Wire- Lots of Knu 1/0 SECOND SKIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
