my system composed of JVC 2-Din HU connected to a Kenwood 640w max destrbuting to four 6.5" 180w max JBL door speakers.

the problem is the 4 speakers act like every two speakers act like one ( right & left)

for example when i change the sound to the right and left from the HU it do ok .. but when i want to change front and back it act like the rear speakers is connected with the front .. just when i make the sound from the front only the sound still come from all 4 speakers and when i change it to the back only all speaker go silent ?

Firstly mate i'd like to thank you for supplying us with the links/pics of the products you have installed, makes our job easier ;)

I just have one question for you........do you have the user manual that came with the head-unit?
I ask this becasue the specs from the link you gave only say the unit has 2 pairs of RCA preouts, but below this states it has subwoofer control. What i would like to know is this second preout switchable from rear to sub?)

What i would assume has happened is the installer (or yourself) have used one RCA cable to connect to the head-unit (out of the front preouts) and then used a pair of RCA splitters to split the two RCA plugs into 4, and connected the 4 plugs into your amp. This means the amplifier is only receiving the front outputs of the head-unit, which would be the reason why you cant fade from front to rear.

If im confusing you let me know and i'll make it easier to understand ;)

Holdenboy I was literally typing the same sort of message when I noticed that you had already beat me to it. Your reply wasn't there when I opened the thread, curse your quickness :D.

Theres your problem, only the front preout used. Just put another RCA cable from the rear preouts into the channel 3+4 inputs of the amp, assuming the installer was smart enough to put the front speakers on channels 1+2.

HAHA, yeah I didn't even notice that. It wouldn't make a difference if its also plugged in the wrong way at the amp.

Who did this installation anyway?
