I have a problem with my back speakers.

[element96x 10+ year member]

Alright I got a 96 Jeep Cherokee with 2 10' kicker cvr's in a custom ported box powered by a kicker 400.1 amp, speaker wise I have 2 alpine type r components in the front and 2 polk audio coaxels in the sound bar in the back powered by an mtx 4 channel amp (I forget which one) I mistakenly had circuit city install the 4 channel and have had nothing but problems ever since. First off they installed it half assed and there was wires everwhere to get me out of there because they were running late, not to mention the speaker wires were on backwards, but i fixed that and they all worked. I took it up there today and they reinstalled everything and mounted everything to the back of my seat like they were suppost to in the first place and now my rear speakers arent working. I didnt notice till i got home and the installers already left the shop. I figure its probably a stupid problem and I dont feel like dealing with them again. What should I look for? Also when I wiggle the rca's on the amp it makes like a static noise in my back speakers but there is not sound coming from there other than that.

are both the front speakers and the back speakers hooked up to the amp? if so does the front speakers still play no problems?

Take the rear panels off and make sure the speaker wires are connected. Best buy forgot to connect one of my mids before.

yeah all 4 are hooked up to the amp and now it seems like my front speakers arent being powered by the amp because they are noticable quieter uggh

did you check the gain for the front speakers?

if it's a 4 channel it has a different gain knob for the fronts and rears.

Also make sure both sets of RCAs are connected. If they only connected one set (front) then you would be missing one channel of inputs.
