rca line convertor

[eddiedeverell]

Iam having so many problems its not even funny! I have 2 12" fosgate p1's, punch p2002 amp. I bought the rca line convertor since I dont have pre amps on the back of the stock monsoon radio. I know I have to cut into the speaker wires in the back of the radio to install it, so I look at the colors of my rear speaker wires, go behind the radio and those colors are not there. Than I pull out the sail panel speakers, look at those colors, and they dont match any on the harness! I than decided to hook the rca convertor in the trunk area directly to the two 4" speakers in the back. Now when I put the balance ( on the radio ) to the center I have no bass, but when I move it to the left or right, I get some but it sounds like crap. I have the amp bridges for both subs and have the subs running in parralell, please help, about to give up.

Is thier a amp in your trunk behind the spair tire if so then its no the same wires i hooked mine up in the trunk to the preamp wires

Left rear - = yellow
Left rear + = Brown
Right rear - = light blue
Right rear + = Dark blue
You might want to double check this i am reading it out of the 2001 camaros Service manual.

If you wire it like i have it you will wwant to take the black cover off as far as you can and c if the wires will twist 2 together thies ones are the postamp ones and you will not want to tap into them. make sure its not twisted to another wire becouse thier 2-4 wires the same color.

I suggest you open your wallet and have it done professionally, if you blow something out then the money U save by doing it yourself will be gone.
That's why professionals do this....its complicated.

I think ill have to take it in, im still lost lol, thanks though all, ill keep you posted on it, wish me luck!!!!

[PalmHarborBlkv6]

you don't need luck, just the cash to get the professionals do it right so you can just enjoy your investment.

its not complicated. it's really quite simple.
The problem is monsoon sucks, Period.
If it were a normal radio a 4 yr old retard could do it in his sleep.

Either way u look at it, if u get it to work it's still going to sound poor becuz ur getting your signal thru speakers and not thru a sub out.

Im a certified installer and i hate working with monsoon systems.

Ohhh I soo am with you there! Bose is even WORSE! Running little 24Ga signal wires all over to the 6 individual fricken amps!!!!!!

He also makes a good point, no matter what you do you wont really get good quality sound out of a speaker wire, you really need a headunit and use a preamp output, another world of differnce is a line driver *if your output voltage is weak* and/or seperate sub crossover. But if you want to keep factory best you can do, is get a good clean amp that is over powered and spend some time tuning.

Ever done a mitsu montero? the amp is in the back driverside behind the interior panel, tap into the signal wires from there... i hate monsoon, bose, infinity rewires.
drives me nuts!

I know you dont want to hear this but if u want a good sounding system you need to lose the monsoon, rewire, and get a Headunit, New componenets and a sub.
