    Rear deck amp wiring help!

    Hey I finally got the chance to try and wire my rear deck to my amp. I went to radio shack and got some av connectors so I could plug them into the low input jack on my amp. Here is what those look like


    so I got the wires from my stereo and ran them to my amp with the av connector seen above. then I ran wires from my amp to my rear deck speakers.

    The problem is when I plugged them in the only music that played was out of my sub. The door speakers didn't even work. so I unplugged the av cables and the door speakers worked fine. I could only get the rear deck speakers to work if I only plugged the middle piece in the jack. if the outer side touched the jack it didn't work? I don't understand why this doesn't work! HELP ME PLEASE! ! ! !

    so u got a speaker wire converted to an rca? i bet you got the positive and negitive switched around.

    but dude you may get a crap load of engine noise if u converted speaker wire to rca's
    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

      you should have just went to BestBuy and got a complete amp kit. Less crap trying to figure out what goes where and what not.

        How about a little more information on how you wired everything? Are your RCA cables straight RCA runs, or did you splice into your speaker outputs from the head unit? It sounds like you've got something reversed to me. Tell us what you did so we can see where you went wrong.

          I did get a lot of engine noise in the speakers. I gave up on the idea though. what was weird was when I tried plugging the wires in differently the larger 18 gage wire grounded it out but it would work fine if I just plugged in the smaller wire alone. Do I really need to hook up my rear decks? I have 400 watt audiobahns in the rear deck and when I turn my music up loud it doesn't get enough power. The music skips and IT is Driving ME CRAZY ! ! ! ! ! I figure I just need a capacitor for my amp? I'm pushin a 400 watt sub with a 400 watt amp and I just bought a 2 farad capacitor off of ebay... for the rear deck all I have for them is the 200 watt amp built into my stereo.... what do you guys think?

            If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacement anyway.

            Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with with experience!!!

              stop doing it ghetto, buy a high-low or a line level converter and it will make things a little easier.
