ok i jut installed a set of component speakers, i hooked up the crossovers to them also.... hooked up the crossovers to the amp and hooked up power and the ground and the remote and now i get no sound? i left the mids on the stock amp so only the mids and the sub work... what could be wrong? i have an alpine 9845 HU aswell

is your gain turned all the way down?

start turning the knob that is usually 0 through a bigger number like 9 or 10 clockwise, or another one that is usually a negative number and then the same number positive. That would be the gain.

upping that may help catch the other speakers up to the volume of the other ones (seems like arent playing but turned down so low you just don't notice.)

alright i was turning a bunch of the settings on the back with no luck this morning but when i get out of work at 5 ill give it a try, other than that can u think of any other thing that may be stopping them from working?
