What equipment are you using the eq with?

 

[hunter.?]

i have 2 12 boston g3 subs and a alpine 1200watt amp door speakers are aftermarket but not on a amp and i have a aftermarket head unit (in a 2002 chevy silverado 1500)

The EQ you are using is a pre amp eq. It is connected between the head unit and the amplifier. If you don’t have an amplifier on the speakers , it is not going to work for the speakers.

What are the door speakers connected to? Are they connected directly to the EQ? As Dragon.breath mentioned, the EQ will not power speakers. It doesn't put out enough power for that. It is only designed to carry a low voltage signal to an amplifier.
