New Speakers - Polk DB6501?

RedShifter · 08-24-2014, 10:42 AM

Alright heres an update,

I tried the install yesterday and heres what happened...

Removing the door panels was pretty easy. The spacers that came with the speakers worked fine, just had to open up one of the holes in spacer just a tad. I decided to go ahead and hook up an amp so that I could get better sound out of the components.
This was my first time dealing with a crossover and it sounded pretty straight forward but I could not get sound to come out of the speakers. (It just sounded like bass, no lyrics) Here is how I wired it...

Any ideas? What could I be doing wrong??
