Thanks so much for the suggestions. Now you really are leading me to believe I wasn't looking through the head unit settings enough.

I'll hopefully get to try this again tonight or tomorrow night

 

k. i'll try to check the site during the weekend to look for status updates.

 

You're going to laugh at me when I tell you this:

I had the RCA's hooked up to the wrong spot on the amp. The weird thing is that I had them hooked into the spot labelled "input." So sure enough I hooked them up to the "output" label and everything worked! Very strange because I would have assumed "input" was the correct one

Thanks for all of your help!

 

Id like to thank the Electronic Forum also. I also installed my Alpine HU, Polk Momo Speakers, and Amp. I found myself running back and forth from my car to the forum to read where to run wires and such. But I have ran into One problem.
With my Driver's side Speaker when i have it bolted down all the way its making contact with something, causing it to cut out. Ive look at everything, I can't seem to figure out whats causing the speaker to cut out. All the speaker wire is secure. Ive noticed that when I have the top 2 Bolts screwed in, it works fine but once I push or bolt in the bottom 2 it cuts out. Anyone had this problem? or should i jsut buy a speaker baffle and call it good?

 

I would make sure the positive teminal is not contacting any metal, or that the wire is not over-stripped. This would cause the signal to go directly to ground. Make sure the connections are good to the speaker. Sometimes the wires are a bit too short, and get pulled off to a bad connection when fulled pushed back.

Dont feel bad....I did the same thing....except I pugged mine into the rear output instead of the subwoofer output. Things happen when you are tired and want to get it done with!

Did you use the foam "rings" that came with your polk speakers? I found that on mine, if I didn't use the foam rings, the speaker was being "forced" into the speaker basket too much. With that extra spacer in there, it fit like a glove.

 

laugh?

ha.... it's been done before.

i would have assumed input was correct too. how odd.


regarding the other door question?



and using the foam rings is a good idea both for spacing AND to help seal the speaker and prevent any additional noise from air leaks.

 

Actually either terminal (pos or neg) will cause problems if it touches ground.
