I have a pioneer DEH-100MP head unit, and a JVC KS-AX4302 amp. my problem is the wire directions are CRAZZZY! can some one spell it out for me? i dont care if you shoot it like im 3 yrs old, just make me understand. the 6x9's are mounted in the back pkg tray. the amp is going on a panel i made for the trunk. the head unit is going in what ever console i can locate(hope hope pinto). im trying to make since of this, but amp says one thing, head unit says another. HELP!
should just be the "out" of the head to the "in" of the amp. 'out' of the amp to the speakers. got a pic of connectors? i tried google searching but couldn't find a pic.
what I did is I ran a power wire from battery to the amp, an activation wire from the headunit to the amp and then wires from the amp to the speakers you have. Then you need an RCA that will go from the head unit to the Amp. I think you meant to say DEH-1100MP
ok does the amp or the head drive the speakers? i guess what im saying is comming out the back of the head,due my speaker lines go directly to speakers or directly to amp. then amp to speakers?
is the activation wire from head to amp the power source? because i bought an amp wire kit that has a massive red cable that i thought was the power for the amp.
the activation wire should be hooked up to your head unit. so when its on it activates the amp to turn on also. It should be a blue wire, the power source is the thicker wire next to it. look at the first diagram. notice the blue/white? splice it up to that one. At least that's what i did...
while ill be the first to admit i know tee-tee when it comes to doing motor work, this electrical stuff makes my brain fry.
If you dont figure it out later on in the day i can take pictures for you of all the wires and where they go to. and how to hook it up to the factory wiring.
man oh man that would be awsome. like i said before, tell me like im three. im sure ill get it. SUPER THANK YOU!
Your speaker wires go from your amp to your speakers the "big red" power wire goes to the 12v positive side of the amp the ground wire goes from the amp to the chassis on your radio there is going to be a remote wire, that goes to the amp remote in. from radio RCA cable go to the amp So basically, the power and ground wires are so the amp has power, the remote wire is the deck telling the amp to turn on, the rca cables are what carry the signals from the deck to the amp to amplify, then it outputs it through the positive and negative wires that goes to your speaker, your speakers make the bump bump wooky wooky noise. LOL You got my number shoot me a call if you get lost. whats your ratings on your amp? Whats the ratings on your speakers? Just making sure you don't have a amp setup for a sub, and walmart speakers. If so the go pop pretty quick and better off just running them off the deck power.
the amp reads as follows- 100w rms x 2 at 4ohms 600w max. bridged at 4ohms class-AB MOS-FET the speaker are cheappie's XSITE XSS692 6 X 9 4OHM, 180 WATTSMAX POWER HANDLING FREQUENCY;50-180K HZ EFFICIENCY;91DB I BOUGHT SPEAKERS BECAUSE THE CONE MATCHED MY PAINT ON CAR, THE DECKWAS GIVEN TO ME BRAN NEW, AND I PICK UP THE AMP ON CLEARANCE AT WALLY WORLD.
Whats the RMS rating on the speakers at 4 ohms? Honestly, I would probably just run them off the deck, and if your into loud music pick up a small sub and use with the amp. I have a feeling the deck output will be more than enough for the speakers alone. Crossovers matched to the speaker a better investment than throwing more power at them. And for future reference, you can use a light coat of model paint and paint the cones of any speakers. Performance and looks
