    Need help with active setup

    yes, cause if i hook the mid RCAs up to the front outputs on the HU the music plays outta the mids... when i hook the tweets up to the rear output no sound.... i think im coming to the conclusion that my rear outputs are screwed up... 8(

    Need help with active setup

    Ive been using this amp for a few years... I just took my speakers off a passive setup. The amp is set for 5 channel. It has 2 other settings, but the other two settings are not the correct settings.
