Noob question on Amp...

[Dashingd]

Hi Guys,

 

Appreciate some kind advice on an issue I'm facing.

 

Just fixed up a 4CH amp onto my system (its JDM head unit).

My layman understanding of an amp is that it should boost the sound levels/enhance the quality of sound.

However after fixing up, the front speakers are as I thought, but the back speakers have become much softer. In fact, softer than before an amp was installed.

 

Can anyone advice me what's wrong before I bring it back to the workshop? Don't wanna be carrot chopped.

Also appreciate advice in layman terms pls....not too much of a technical person.

 

Cheers!

It is most probably your stock HU output is too high for the amp.

You should get an amp with speaker-level inputs.

Or if your amp doesn't have that, you have to get an output converter to convert high voltage speaker level signal to pre amp signal which your amp can accept.

if there is tuning.. check your HU or pre-amp and look at the fader....

 

some will tune in such a way that front is normal.. back is soft...
