Ok so i read the threads ppl put up before me have a 99 maxima i spliced the rca wires in to my rear speaker wires and im still not getting anything from my sub im back tracking to see if i did anything wrong but so far its good but i still have no sound out my eclipse sub

 

Dont you need an amp to power a sub?

 

yeah have the amp and the subs hooked up but not getting any sound im getting the signal off the rear speakers

 

did you use a hi lo converter

 

You need one of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...Boss-B65N.html if you are not plugging your RCA's into the head unit. Then you can splice those wires into the existing speaker wires, then plug the RCA's in. You cant just cut the RCA cables and splice them into the existing speaker wire.

 

^^

That depends on if he has a bose system or not. If he does have bose, he can splice his RCA's into his rear speaker harnesses, as long as he taps the signal before it passes through the amps. Many people have done it this way, I did it on my brother's 5th gen, also did it as a temporary thing when I had my 4th gen. worked out fine.

OP: need a little more info. Is your amp at least turning on??

 

yeah the amp turns on and its a bose kinda y i didnt get the hi low converter but i still get no sound from my subs

 

Ok, have you tried the amp in another car to make sure it's good, or do you have another amp you can try in your car?

Apart from that, the only other thing I can suggest is to check and re-check your wiring. Are you splicing the RCA's into the harness, before they reach the bose amps? Make sure that you have the (+) and (-) correct on your RCA's. maybe try switching them just to eliminate that. You probably have these diagrams already but just posting them in case:





Good luck man

 

ill recheck again just to make sure but the amp i got was off of my friends car so i know it works i think it might be the wiring

 

Alright, post back if you find anything...
