Aftermarket stereo trouble

[cowboysfan9]

I got my Deck Amp and Sub hooked up. My rear speakers are faint and My front dont come on my rear are aftermarket, front are stock bose. I cant figure out what it is, is it something with the gain control on the new harness?

[cowboysfan9]

anyone?

Give me your exact set-up and how you wired it. Did you run external amps for your interiors or just deck power? Sounds like you didn't power up the amp turn on in the car for your fronts and if you removed the bose amps in the rears you have to use a high level output for them. More info and I can tell you what to do.

Just deck power for the rear 6x9's front ones are stock bose speakers, the only amp I have run is for my 12

Tweeters and Front speakers are stock Bose (Getting no sound thru them)Rear are aftermarket (You can only hear them a little) being powered from the deckThe Gain controls on the Harness really dont make a diffrence for the rear SpeakersMy sub and amp work fineWhy are there 4 wires for each rear speaker?

[fogged306]

two wires are the power supply for the individual bose amp attached to each speaker and the other 2 are the signal input wires coming from the deck. When you run an aftermarket deck and aftermarket speakers, you can use the signal wires as your speaker wire, it will work just fine.

What gain control are you talking about for the harness?? Are you using a bose integration harness? You need to either take a pic or explain the harness better.. also, now that you have removed the bose amps from the rear and kept them on the front, you are going to have to modify whatever harness you use to make sure the rears and the fronts will be at roughly the same volume level (because now you are using two seperate amp systems). Or remove the amps on the front speakers also and run a passive crossover set-up for the mids and the tweeters.. or you can seperately amp the rears.. you have a couple of options here, but first I want to know what harness you have.

Yes im using a 95 and up nissian/infinity Bose Integration harnesss v.4

I use metra parts so I've never seen one with gain controls, who makes this harness?

You have to connect the remote turn-on as well as the power antenna on the harnesses I use, so I'm assuming you will have to do the same on the one you are using. If there are any blue or blue/white wires in that harness, you need to connect them both to the blue and/or blue/white coming off your aftermarket radio. This will solve your fronts not coming on.

The rears are a different story. You will have to bypass the bose integration since you have removed the bose amps from the equation. The easiest route for me to explain would be to run new speaker wire to them. The other way would invlove me still needing to see a pic of the harness so I can tell you which wires to bypass and how to do it.

Thanks alot for the help man I got my fronts to work, It was the power antenna wire I needed to hook up I thought it was unnecessary. As far as the rears where would I cut the wire to run the new speaker wire. The harness im using is a scosche amp integration v.4 it has gain controls for the front and rear speakers
