Speaker troubles
Hi, I purchased 4 alpine type-s 5 ¼ inch speakers and a pioneer
deh-1800 head unit, and recently added a subwoofer. Since I installed the new speakers, if I put the fade level at neutral or even rear, my front speakers would produce a severely distorted sound. I checked the wiring and nothing is touching any metal, and I cant seem to find an explanation. The only way the speakers sound ok is if I put the fade level all the way to the front, thus not sending any signal to the sub. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Luke |

How did you "add a subwoofer"? In other words, what's powering that sub? -dan |

Thanks, Luke Is the Subwoofer powered by an amp or the Pioneer head unit? What year and type vehicle is it? Do you have rear speakers in the vehicle? if so how do they sound? |

Sorry about the confusion, along with the sub, i added a 800w mono
pioneer amp for the subwoofer, i think the sub and amp are irrelevant though, because i was having this problem before i added them. As for the rear speakers, i dont know how thy sound because i have to keep the fade level so far to the front hardly any sound is coming out of them. Could this problem mean i need more power going to the speakers themselves? someone suggested buying a 4 channel amp just for the speakers, would this solve anything? oh my car is 1990 mazda 323. thanks. |

The problem may be the rear speaker or the speaker wires to the rear speakers may be grounding out. Try disconnecting the rear speakers at the speakers and see how it sounds. You can start by just unplugging them right from the speakers in the rear. If that doesn't help, try disconnecting them from the radio. |

Is it possible that you wired the speakers incorrectly? As an example - if you switched the grounds for the front and rear speakers, but the positive wire was done correctly, then that could make sense out of your symptoms... Just a guess. ~Mister.Lull |
