mate you should have loose rear speaker wires coming out the back of the loom in the back of the stereo, as long as you have its pretty straight forward, attach male/female bullet connectors to the wires running from the speakers and the wires in the back of the stereo and just attach them together making sure your + and - match up otherwise the sound wont be very good (muffled). thats what i had to do when i replaced my stereo.

cheers

right, wel earlier i just test them out by quickly attaching the wire ends off the old back speakers to me new 6x9s and the bass was sh*t, all distorted? wont i need to run decent cable the whole way from the hu to speakers?

a bin







lol

 

[Colin_S]

the std wires will be fine BTW, just use the wires that was wired up to the old speakers.

Make sure you have the +ve and -ve the same way around on each speaker or they will sound sh!t

 

[ryan22nd]

thanks for all your help!? u couldnt give an answer in me question then? ryan

 

[ryan22nd]

they sounded crap when plugged up to the original wires tho, when i swapped +ve and -ve.? there 320w max pioneer 6x9s? alpine cdm summet unit?

 

[Colin_S]

running wires direct the the HU will make NO difference.

 

[ryan22nd]

any idea why i am getting sh*t bass? they are 2nd hand babies?

 

[Colin_S]

are the +ve and -ve the same on both speakers?

 

[Illusion]

Guys I sold them to Ryan knowing that these are fine....

Theyre not on his Parcel Shelf at the mo, could this be why the bass coming from these are crap???

 

[Colin_S]

yep, speakers sound sh*t when your are holding them in the air. Put them in the shelf and use the std wires and make sure you have the +ve and -ve round the right way on both speakers.

 

[ryan22nd]

i get alot of vrpph vrpph at like 1/2 volume no extra bass

 

[ryan22nd]

i just read somewhere that i mite neeed to amp them? i alpine hu? 50w (rms apparantly?) powering 80wrms 6x9s?

 

[Illusion]

Yeah, mine were ampd, defos sound better than runnin off ur HU.

Try putting them on ur parcel shelf and see how it sounds.

 

[Colin_S]

you dont need to amp them, and your Alpine HU is deffo not putting out 50watts RMS more like 15. Try fitting them onto your shelf

 

[ryan22nd]

ok il keep u guys posted. cheers anyhow

When i got my speakers, i have the same ones btw, i ran the wires that came wiht them to the back, which is the same as std wire, i connected them up the wrong way and nowt worked, conencted them right and they worked fine, try them in the parcel shelf mate

 

[h3lter]

yea cus when amps u can make them only do mid and treble! hence no bass to make em fart!

unless u got mega b line that likes to distort them!

 

[Gav76]

Sorry to hijack but I also fitted new speakers this week and they sound sh1t. So I need to change the wires round on one of the speakers to make sure the + and - are the same way round? And if it doesnt help could it be that the head unit isnt providing a strong enough signal? A new HU is on its way anyway.

Thnx

 

[h3lter]

can be a number of things! better to amp all speakers! u get more control over wot they play!

 

[ryan22nd]

i got 1 speaker on shelf after a right pheasco.. old mans crap tools!, and i have some alrite BASS.. i discovered that my hu had loudness running yesterday and didnt realise was causing most distortion!, i think i may be able to get a better sound if i wire up better as its the old hook and tape, to join wires at the mo!, BODGE! dont you hate bodge jobs!
