Thanks guys thats exactly what it was. I guess i didn't realize there was a built in amp in the truck already, and on the wiring harness sheet it said that wire was unused, guess not though. Big releif to know i dont have to go out and buy a new headunit Thanks again for all the help Cody

but doesnt that blue wire need to be wired to my remote wire for the amp to my subs?

well, i went through and rewired the headunit and still i got nothing out of the speakers. but i did hook up my stock radio to rule out the possibility of the speakers themselves being the problem. and, when i plugged the stock radio back in, all of the door speakers worked nicely. any one have...

its a 97 f150 and i don't think i heard a pop but i'll double check in the morning. Thanks for all the help guys i appreciate it. I'm gonna un do all the wires and re wire the headunit in the morning too and see what happens. i'll be sure to post what happens, if anything

yes they're being ran off the headunit power, but i just looked all through the book and i turned the radio on and searched for it and i couldnt find where to turn on the internal amp. and i just checked again on the wires, and every wire is going to the correct one. what do you mean by that?

i bought a new wiring harness kit that was made for my truck if thats what you mean, it wasn't the one used with the stock radio though. and the back speakers are stock but the front speakers are aftermarket, i'm not sure what kind because they were in the truck when i bought it. but they...

alright, so this weekend me and a buddy decided to install my subs, amp, and headunit i got for my truck. everything went smooth but we ran into some trouble when it came to installing the head unit. We double checked our wiring and everything, and the head unit turns on and everything and you...

i understand x1 is usually a mono channel amp and all that..but... what if the 1ch amp is at 2 ohms and not 1?

I'm kinda new to the whole car audio thing. And this may be a simple question, but how do you tell how much output you get on a mono amp or a 2 ch. amp? for example, with a zx750.1 it says it has 750 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms. I know the x1 represents the channel, but if you have 2 subs hooked up...

Thanks for all the help guys, i really appreciate it. but one thing has changed. i got the subs today, and i opened them and they're the 2ohm version, not the 4ohm. Will this make a difference in how they sound? or what kind of amp i should look at? Thanks Cody

Just got 2 12" Kicker CompVR's with dual 4 ohm voice coils, but i'm not sure on what type of amp to get (how many watts, ohms, channels, etc.). On the kicker site, they recomended a 2 channel amp, but i've heard a mono amp might work best. Oh and each sub is 400w RMS and 800w max. Thanks for...
