Alright, I installed the Pioneer 6x9s into my Dodge. I wired them to the factory amps. The problem, however, is that I am hearing a lot of distortion at medium to high volume levels, which leads me to believe the amps are overpowering the Pioneer 6x9s (they're 250 watt). The question, however, is how should I bypass them. They have about 6 wires feeding into the amps, but only 2 coming out, so I'm not sure what to snip and splice. Help is always appreciated.

Thanks,
Trey.

 

Anyone?

 

On my 98 the input wires from the deck were the two outside wires going into the amp, one wire from each end. Sorry I don't remember the colors, I'll try to look them up tonight.

OK, I found a diagram at work. On my 98 Q.C. the left wires are DG and BR/RD and the right are VT and DB/RD. If you do not leave these connected to your amp the tweeters on the A pillar will stop working, I "T"ed mine in so they were still connected to the amp. Hope this helps.

what year truck is it? ur hearing distortion becaues factory infinty amps are meant to run with factory infinity speakers. start replacing stuff and bad things happen. it either sounds terrible or the amp just frys. What year truck and I'll look up a bypass harness that will work just fine that way you don't gotta go jimmy rigging stuff and plugging wires all over the damn place

 

Its a 1998 club cab.

 

Try this, save it to your computer and you can magnify it easier.

why dont you just get more powerful speakers?

 

It's probably not the speakers, you're overloading the amps. you can blow a speaker by overdriving the amp just as easily as overdriving the speaker, as the output from the amp itself will be distorted (clipped at max output) and will kill the amp or the speakers. Need a bigger amp.

 

I got mine on sale from Bestbuy for 40 dollars, and really, I don't need them to be that powerful.

I'm not planning on getting an amp till later this year when I'm gonna buy an amp and 2 subs. I'm looking just to bypass the amp for now so I don't ruin the 6x9s.
