tahoe/kenwood troubles?????

[boomtahoe]

Any experts that can help????? I own a 2002 Chevy Tahoe LS. This is a basic model, meaning no on-star or bose system. I have installed a kenwood KDC-MP735U head unit, and kenwood KFC-1661S 6.5 inch speakers in the front doors, and Cadence ZX-351 3.5 inch speakers in the rear pillars. The rear door speakers, subwoofer and amp are all factory installed.

My problem is, when i fade the speakers to the back, there is hardly any sound. I have to turn it up all the way just to hear it. When i fade the speakers to the front, the front speakers play loud. When i balance it all in the middle, the front speakers still play loud, and the rear door speakers, the rear pillar speakers,and subwoofer can't even be heard. Is there maybe a funtion on the head unit that would cause this? Can anyone help??????

ahhhh i believe its called "DUAL ZONE" or something along those lines....turn it off and everything should balance out

Dual Zone: The Dual Zone mode allows you to output the Main source and the Auxiliary input separately for the front and rear channels. You can select whether the auxiliary input will play in the front or the rear of your vehicle.

that's also an good setting to look into

Built-In Amp Setting: If you are using external amplifiers to power all of your vehicle's speakers you can turn the unit's built-in amplifier off to enhance the player's preamp output quality.
