So i really dont know what to do at this rate. I have the amp hooked up and it seems to be working fine. I think the wiring is at fault.

I have hooked up two '10 inch subs to a 500 watt amp. I used a high-low converter that has been connected to my rear drivers side speaker. the subs do work but the bass is so quiet and distorted that you have to open up the trunk just to hear it. And thats with the bass bumped up all the way on the headunit and with the volume super high.

My high/low adapter and it has 4 wires:

left front (+) input
left front (-) input
right front + input
right front (-) input

Its hooked up to the smaller green and red wires from the bose connector. What wires connect to where in the trunk?? Ive tried adjusting the pots on the subs and the amp. No luck!

Here are some pics: (and the setup looks crappy but its temporary untill it works)





(the small green and red wires are what the converter is hooked up to)

No-one seems to help haha. Maybe someone can in here!

 

Your issue is as follows: The wires you have going to your high-low converter are already low level. So you're taking a low signal which your high-low converter is making it even lower.

That black unit on the rear speaker is the amp. The wires going into it are not amplified. You can't get to the high level speaker leads unless you open up the unit.

Do this: intead of using a high-low converter, take those same red/green wires and splice in some RCA's. Plug them directly into your amp RCA input.

 

Thank you so much!! Ill give it a shot and see if it works out a little better.

 

Or you could unscrew the black plastic amp from the speaker, and splice 2 wires going into the speaker itself.

Might be easier than splicing in / soldering & extending wires for RCA ends.

Also it looks like your power wire wants to GTFO of that socket.
