I am totally idiot when it comes to ICE.
The car I bought has:
- Pioneer MP3/CD player
- 10" subwoofer in box
- 800w Amplifier
- A pair 6x9" sony explodes 3way
- A pair 6" audio boss split speakers with tweeters
The problem is that the sound, even though it comes from both sides, only outputs the left sound (if that makes sense...).
I would expect that with the system I have I can listen to my music in stereo. When I asked the guy I bought it from, he told me I just have to rewire it. But the problem is that I have no idea .
Is this setup any good?
And also if I put on too much base my rear window vibrates like hell.
(the boot lid has soundproff stuff on it)
Cheers guys.

Re: Problem: Only Mono, No Stereo
as to wether its any good will probably come down to the quality of the amplifier...mrStumpy wrote:I am totally idiot when it comes to ICE.

as for your mono sound problem, it could be a couple of things, but most likely is just stupid wiring from head unit to amp...like used a single to double RCA cable or something rediculous
check that the RCA outs on the back of the head unit are running correctly to the RCA in's on the amplifier itself(assuming the amp is running the main speakers and not just the sub)
else, it could be something as hilariously funny as its only a 2 channel amp and the person wired it up to run 1 channel for the sub and the other channel for the speakers resulting in only 1 channel of sound not stereo
honestly, u are prolly best of just takin the head unit out, and checking what wires run where, then the solution will probably look obvious

Im a lazy person, but I finally got my head together and checked it out.
My system is as following:
Amp: Weconic 4475 max 800w 4 channel (i think, 2front + 2back)
Sub: JBL "15
Head unit: Pioneer DEH-P3550MP (a/a)
My head unit has the RCA cables (red+black) going to the boot, then each cable split into 2. So basically left is sub, right is speakers.
My speakers are wired to the amp left front+back to LEFT FRONT INPUT and right front+back to RIGHT FRONT INPUT. My Amp is wired to BACK LEFT + RIGHT INPUT.
confusing? for me yes
Is there any differance in sound quality ets by wiring speakers up to the amp rather than the headunit?
How would I connect my sub to this 2 speaker system with splits.
And another confusing thing. When I tok of the door pannels to check out my front speakers + splits. There is this relay box located there. What the hell is that. It is not properly secured (only with double sided tape) and it rattles around.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And what is all this talk about bridging in order to increase sound output?
Cheers guys!
