[QUOTE="zachdude1100, post: 7578485, member: 638397"] ^^ Edit: Forum name should read "speaker level input problem" (Hehe, I'm tired and frustrated. Thinking is difficult right now) Hey guys. I just recently decided to throw a 10 inch MTX sub in my '97 Accord and I'm having a problem. Seeing as it is the stock head unit, it does not have RCA outs on it, so I used the high level input from the rear speakers to the 4 pin connector on the amp. All works well, at moderate listening levels. HOWEVER, when I turn it up as well as when I just freshly turn on the head unit, the sub along with the rear speakers do nothing at all.
