I.C.E. Help needed. Kinda Urgent!

I have a 4ch amp. Bridged two channels on Low pass to run my 10in sub. The other two (high pass) were supposed to be for the front comps. The arse end speakers are not amped, just there for rear fill.

Anyway, I ran a pair of speaker wires up front from the amp, cut off the feed from the head unit to the front speakers and used the signal from the amp instead.

The idea was to use the car's original wiring to prevent drilling a new hole in the doors. However, there is no sound up front from the amp, but the speakers work fine when I run off the head unit.

How have you guys managed to amp your front speakers. The same thing happened with my cav. I'm baffled.

Have you used four inputs on your amp? If you have only used two, this will only power two channels on your amp (used for sub at the mo)

Yer, I have two sets of RCA cables running from the head unit to the amp, so all four channels are 'fed'.

I tested with my rear speakers and they worked.

It must be a problem between the ISO plug and the speakers. Could I say the wiring is setu up such that only sounds from the HU will work?

How have you done yours?

I know you said you didn't want to drill but what you can do without drilling the body work, is if you open the door there is a large connector the has all the wires for the door in it. at the top of the connector there are hole that do not have wires in, i drilled a small hole through there and fed my speaker wires through, this keeps them water proofed and stops them from getting kinked as well. it is worth considering.

Hope this helps
