Amp n speaker question

[kenjin]

I just installed a amp and i'm still new to audio stuff so I was wondering iif there is a way to make the amp power the subs n make the speakers work like how they used to before installng the amp??

did you hook up speaker wires to the amp?

if so then unhook them and put the straight back into the headunit and only hook up the amp to the subs.

are you using the high level input for your signal, or a line out convertor? If not, what do your back speakers have to do with your install?

Are you saying that your subs or your speakers up front don't work unless wired to the amp? If you don't know what you did then neither will we lol. Try and be more descriptive please.

Does your receiver have more than one set of rca's on the back of it?

did you mess with your front speaker wires at all when you hooked up the subs and amp?

[Brandoncb7]

He has two outputs on the receiver. One for front and one for rear. When he plugged the rcas into his receiver and then tried to run his subs it'll either run just the subs or just the rear speakers. He needs an output for his subwoofer. Either that or use one of them for the subs run the speakers in the back deck off of the wires for the front speakers. I don't know how good all of that would work out though. He won't have a non fader control on his receiver to adjust the sub by itself. So any changes he made to the highs/mids inside the car would affect the sub along with it. Maybe i'm wrong here.

everything should still run even with the RCA plugged in no matter which one it is plugged into. the amp should not effect the speakers unless the speakers have been hooked up to the amp. thats why i was wondering if he ended up hooking the speaker wires up anywhere when he did the install

[Brandoncb7]

Actually that's true now that I think about it because he would have them wired into the harness on the back of the deck lol. I knew I was missing something.
