Finished installing Pioneer 860, Soundstream Rubicon 600-4, CDT 61 components, IDQ 10's, Image tweets, Knukoncepts 4 Ga. wiring. I left the stock rears in to be powered by the HU. I get no sound from the tweets, a low rumble from the mids at high volume, very little from the sub. Is there something I'm overlooking? Checked all my connections and they seem tight. I'm using the 560 Sat crossovers for the mids, tweets, and IEK tweets. The stock rears are blasting. The amp light is lit. Grrrrr.

How is everything wired? Are the RCA cables you using any good?

Might be out of phase?

Thanks for the suggestions. Here's what happened: The call out sheet for the SS Rubicon amp was printed by a Chinese midget who was low on ink and thought I maybe wanted to test my vision so he printed the sheet in Arial 2 pt.. On said instruction sheet as the very last item (#31b&32) is the location on the bottom inside of the amp where a small double dip switch resides. Said switch controls channel 3&4 mono-stereo and channel 3&4 local-remote. Soundstream ships the amp with the switch set to remote and this means no signal is seen from channel 3&4 RCA's. S*** Chinese printers and WTF Soundstream?

This is what happens when a good ol American Company gets bought by a huge Korean Company, absolute crap.
