I just bought a Pioneer DEH-P4600mp
well i was trying to wire it, but none of the wire matches can someone help me out? maybe telling me which wiring is power..which is ACC and speaker wires what so ever
help me out please thanks in advance

 

is the harness cut? if so...you'll need to check out this site for tips
http://www.installdr.com/QuickWiring.html

if not, just buy a harness from futureshop or something and match the wires. very easy to do

 

give me 20$ and i'll hook it up for you in 10 minutes.

 

^this board is about HELPING not making profit over something simple.

 

I'd rather his stuff gets hooked up right. But alright im sorry if I got off Topic.

 

^then help him but don't ask for money

hey gman thx for that site ifinally got it to work...but some how my speakers are still playing the bass and not the subs as much. ihave a pioneer deh p4600mp so if anyone knows how to filter the speakers from the bass and let the subs play all of it tell me how please...I tried setting the frequency, fie, sla and the eq but it doesn't seem to make any difference

 

do you have an amp setup?

 

the dehp4600 is a relatively entry level deck. at most, if i recall correctly, it has front and rear preamp outputs. what exactly is your setup?

if you are running the front and rear speakers off deck power, there aren't any built in crossovers on that deck. higher end decks have that. the only way to prevent excessive bass from getting to the front and rear main speakers is to keep the eq/ sound presets off, the bass level down and possibly look into some caps, also known as bass blockers, to be installed in line with the speakers to block out all the low bass. when you use the eq settings, you'll send more bass to the front and rear speakers as well as to the subwoofer, making the mains distort. ideally if you have the correct setup, you'll want to leave everything on flat.
what is your exact setup?

 

well my setup right now is EQ at flat, Loud - Low, FIE - 160, SLA - +2 EQ medium +2
I have a Alpine V12 MRD M1005 amp setting at gain 0.3, B.EQ DB +10, LP filter at 70, LP slope 12DB, Subsonic Filter at 15hz

how should my setting be in order for the subs to play right, because i realize it's not catching every bass while the speakers are playing majority of them =(
this would be much easier if i had my old alpine deck..but it got stolen
thanks in advance

 

Raise your low pass filter higher on the amp, if you want your subs to play more tones/beats

 

Does it really matter if you get the speak wire polarities reversed?

 

do you have the subwoofer amp connected to the front rca outputs? i wonder if the fie (front imagining enhancement) has anything to do with it. when you are saying that the subs aren't "catching any bass", do you mean the output level of the subs is low compared to the output of the main speakers. how far is the gain set at? 70Hz lowpass should be fine. raising it up will let the speakers play a more bass and sound more boomy.... if that is the sound you are looking for.

 

^^
if matters if you have the left and right speakers wired out of polarity. a way of tweaking an audiosystem for optimum performace is putting the different speakers out of phase with either other as it affects how the speakers couple with one another as speakers move air anyway. flipping the subwoofer speaker leads around will change how it sounds, as well as the front speakers relative to the rear and if you have a component set with a passive crossover, putting the tweeters out of phase with the mids will affect how it sounds too. however, if you put the left side speaker out of phase (polarity) with the right side, you can visualise one speaker cone going in as the other pushing out.. so you can't pressurize any air. basically you'll loose midbass and you won't be able to find your center image.

 

so from the amp theres input and preouts which one goes to the rear and which is in front.
"when you are saying that the subs aren't "catching any bass", do you mean the output level of the subs is low compared to the output of the main speakers" thats what imeant my speakers are playin more then the subs. my gain is set at 0.3 right now

 

.

 

did you turn up your input level/gain?

 

hey thx for ur help jeff igot it to work finally everything sounds nice =)
