[QUOTE="stevehans, post: 8523135, member: 670993"] Hello, I installed new speakers, subs, and an amp into my 2011 Ford Fiesta SE. Since there wasn't an RCA input in the back of my head unit I spliced the RCA into the front speaker wires. The RCA's run back to the amp and the amp powers the back two speakers and the subs. My problem is, when I turn on the car with the RCA's plugged into the amp, no speakers put out any sound regardless of volume. If I unplug the RCA cables from the amp, any speakers not run through the amp come on. After plugging the RCA cables back into the amp, the subs and the back speakers come on. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm getting sick of having to unplug/plug in the RCA's every time I get in the car. Also, sometimes 15 or so minutes down the road the speakers will all just stop putting out sound, even the ones not run through the amp. I have to pull over and unplug/plug in the RCA's to get them to come back on. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
