[QUOTE="Dt87, post: 8661263, member: 675979"] I currently have 2 pairs of 6x9s in the front and rear doors of my truck that I have an amp running. Sounds great but here recently I've decided to throw a subwoofer into the mix, and Im hoping you guys can help me out with what's going on. So I'm installing the PT-250 10" kicker powered subwoofer with built in amplifier. It doesn't have your regular rca inputs that you would normally see on most of your after market amplifiers. It uses a single wire harness that consists of your normal ground, power (W/Inline fuse already prepped basically), remote turn on lead, and a pair of speaker leads that are color coded for front L&R. The manual says to just tap into the head units speaker leads and you will get your signal. It also has a toggle switch that let's you choose ahigh level or low level. I'm thinking ok, sounds simple and the install will be a breeze. So I ran all my wjres, gave it a clean install, but when I turn my stereo on, the subwoofer works just fine, but for some reason my door speakers will barley turn up as if they're just not getting any power. Almost as if the volume is just way down on them. My setup for the amp that is running them is your normal low level input for better performance. On the powered kicker it has a high level or low level option as I said a second ago and I chose low level because it all needs to match.
