back speakers?

kROntast1c · 01-08-2011, 06:18 PM

so i just put in my back speakers, and they only play really quiet, and if i change the volume they start to hiss. changing the volume dosent stop it, the only thing that does is shutting my car off. when i turn it back on they are working though. anyone know what may be going on?

Does your car have a stock amp?
How did you wire the new speakers? If it's has a stock amp witch wires did you use?
You're sure non of the wires are grounding out?
Do you have any other after market audio in the car?

sounds like you have a monsoon system and wired all 4 wires up...

kROntast1c · 01-08-2011, 10:20 PM

Yes I wired them all up. So that why it was doing that. But I solved the problem by just using 2 wires instead.

Yep, use the green and blue wires, the wire with the black strip is - for both sides.

Wait what? I used the red and red/black

Never worked on a monsoon system... Whyyyyy do they have more than 1 wire going to the speakers??

The monsoon speakers have separate wiring for the tweeter and the woofer, so you have low and high coming from the amp. If you use only 2 of them (either low or high) to power both tweeter and woofer then it will work but you wont get as much power. I modified my speakers to work well with the monsoon amp.

those are in the GLS models, correct? I saw where the GLS models have 8 speakers, and mine is a GLS.... I've never taken the speakers out in the back so I have no idea.

Yeah I guess we have 8. But the tweets are hidden in the 6x9s. I now know that.

Are there at least a dark pair and a light pair wires and you used the darker set?

Funny thing about the monsoon amp, it seems to have a crossover for the low end. It's not like sending a full signal is going to hurt a woofer or SQ.

no, they just had 2 of each, but still the same color. had to keep doing a different series of wire to see which sounded the best.
