Okay...installed a new MTX five channel amp to my G35 sedan. ( it was a _______ to get the radio out!). First, I used a Metra wiring harness to figure out what went to what. I spliced them to my Scosche LOC. Followed the directions perfectly. NOT hard at all really. Ran my RCA's to the Amp. I get great sound to my new Alpine Components and rears, but when I fade to the front, one my right front speaker goes dead and my back right speaker stays on. It seems like things are really crossed. Help me please. What have I done?

Sounds like you messed up on that "loc" converter. Double check those wires.

I dont think it could be the LOC because if it was he wouldn't be getting sound out of all of the speakers when he dosn't fade it to the front.

Make sure your connections from the wiring harness to the LOC are insulated and there is no bare wire exposed anywhere. Sounds like something might be shorting out, or you have the speaker wires at the amp cross-connected.

Double check for input switches on the amp and wires attached to the amp. Either the rca cables are plugged into the wrong input or the speaker wires are attached to the wrong output.

Yea, i agree with forbidden. sounds like you might have connected the wrong speakers to the wrong wires. :) i've done it before man. just take ur time and run through it all again. i dont think it will be to hard to figure out.
