BenJammin Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey everyone i had a question i have the Z1 and i installed a 2 channel amp, connected to the front speakers, connected to the "front out" RCA's from the head unit. Now, i have no sound from the rear speakers. it's as if it becomes a "dead head" when it sensed the amp connected. Does anyone have a fix? I'd like to run Front Speakers = 2 channel amp Rear Speakers = powered from Z1 Sub = ext bridged amp Thanks for any tips! Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 what vehicle is this? maybe you need to turn the factory amp on for the rears? which would suggest you have an amp already for the fronts your amping again maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisFit Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 are you sure you just cant hear them over the amp? try unplugging your rca's and turning the volume up to see if they are actually playing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenJammin Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 2003 f-150 harley..no factory amp. i left out a detail. up until today i had been running the fronts and rears off of the head unit without issues. Not until i plugged in the amp did the rears quit. i did pan front to rear to be sure the rears were not working. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 check the rear speakers to make sure they are good still, maybe when you installed the amp for the fronts they blew, or you disconnected the wiring along the way... or .. or .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
