Hey guys,

I don't know much about wiring aftermarket speakers but i have a problem. I just had four speakers installed in the TL-S and had them wired up to an alpine mrp amp. I was recommended to go to this installer who does really good quality and custom work. He installed 4 aftermarket speakers and wired it to an MRP 4 channel amp for me. He took almost two days to run the wiring throughout the car which looks really good and built a small rack on the back of my trunk to bolt the amps too (good job as well).

He showed me where the stock amp is by the passenger side and spliced some wires and told me he did something (probably run wires to the radio) to make each speaker equivalent to their own rca ins...?

Problem is after he wired everything, on some turns the two back speakers cut out for a couple of seconds and then start playing again. He also did not know that the center channel was the voice activation feature and wired only the four components to my aftermarket amp deleting the center channel, in which he will have to find a solution tomorrow when he is going to see the car.

I saw him solder some wires to make things secure. Everything sounds great while its all playing at a stop, it just once i start driving the sound is very volatile due to the rear speakers cutting in an out. All my parts are new and i'm not sure if he's made the rookie mistake of not connecting any wires tight enough..? Any feedback would be appreciated, i really don't want him to try and blame it on the amp, cause its brand new.

Could it be that there's something i should know about our car in particular? Please let me know and i apologize for not providing sufficient info as i do not know details on how to fully wire and troubleshoot a sound system...! I just wanted better sound and now its turning into a HUGE headache!

Anyways thanks guys

 

Have the tech check all the connections when you take it back.

 

2 days to wire the car....FAIL...

you will need to take it back for sure...take a picture of the stock amp and wiring behind the passenger kick panel so i can visually see what he has done...

Another probelm...its minus 30 degrees celcius here and when I start the car up first time in the morning the four components are not playing, completely dead . When I look at the amp in the trunk the light is on! This is becoming a pain in the ass, the installer seems puzzled as he was trying to blame it on the hardware. I don't think its a hardware problem after seeing the amp on...
