is the harness cut? if so...you'll need to check out this site for tips

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

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.

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

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.
