no need to worry figured it out was one of the settings on the head unit i had wrong

now my only problem is my 6" speakers dont fit in the door flush should i just use grinder to make more space or could that be a bad idea?

Some people dont like to cut holes in the steel any larger than they are because they believe they can alter the doors strength and void insurance!

a simple thing if it fits is just getting a spacer for $15 at your local sound shop, sca autobarn auto1 jb etc.
then you can put the stock speakers back in when you sell it.

Or cut yourself a ring of ~10mm (or however large is needed) bring the speakers out further.

it doesnt fit in the stock spacer or the hole itself do they sell spacers that will fit into the 6" hole in the door and a bit larger to fit the speaker?
