Not Much Power On Front Speakers?

[LeCoq]

yo! i just bought a Sony 4 channel amp with 2 6'inch front speakers installed on the front doors and it includes with 1000 watts sony x-plod sub, but the problem is all the power is played from the rear speakers (which is soundwave brand) "i think"...but anyways how do i get the front ones to play louder?? any suggestions???

Are you sure your headunit isn't set to play most of the sound to the rear speakers? It can be adjusted.

No suggestions other than that.

sony xplod by name - xplode by nature..

there are a lot of reasons why you may only have two speakers working

fader on the unit

the way the system is wired

not enough power or channels on your amp to run things

the list goes on..

it might help to post up more info if your still having problems...

Set fader and/or gains correctly.

yeah prob the gains not set right.

To set you gain levels. turn the gains to 0, turn you head unit to around 75% volume, then turn your gain up just till you hear distortion, then turn it back a touch ie. till the distortion stops. done.

Then with your fader play with it till you get a good mix you like front to back. I prefer the fronts crankin personally.

If that doesnt fix it probs got RCA's wrong way round or somethin.

Yeah i been setting the fader in and out...but still not enough power. Must be the head-unit coz its a bit old and doesnt have that much power to handle the speakrs but anywayz im gonna try some tips u guys mention...
