Mtx Re Q5 Install Question

[jestor]

ok so i bought me a mtx re-q5, and im having a little trouble understanding how to hook this up. this is going into my 2009 silverado crew cab(non bose) and i noticed the req5 has alot of wires, what would be the best way to install this seeing as i only have 4 speakers and the two tweeters which i think are wired into the front speakers. here is a link to the install instruction, im just not really sure how to go about installing this into my truck. http://www.reqsound.com/manual/re-Q5_Install_sheet.pdf

 

thanks in advance

im confused because each channel has four wires for input, and not sure which ones to use, when i only have two wire pre channel or speaker. and also if i hook up the left speaker input will i have an amplified signal when using an amp to run front speakers??

Ok, heres what you want to do for your speakers:

 

Green/black -, Green + = left rear

White/red -, White + = left front

Purple/black -, Purple + = right rear

Grey/black -, Grey + = right front

Brown/black -, Brown + = Sub input.......... ****Use if you are adding a sub****...

 

There are two of everything incase the player in the vehicle has specific outputs for mid/ tweeter. our trucks dont. The tweeter is just paralell with the mid with a cap on it.

 

Basically just connect the wires as ive labeled them, then cap or tape off the remaining unused wires. The power ( constant and keyed ) and ground will also have to be hooked up.

 

If you are adding an amp to all four speakers then just tap into fr, fl, rr, rl. if you are adding a sub and amping all speakers, tap into one of the rear speakers with the brown wires ( unless you have bose system, then just use factory sub wires )

 

If youre just adding a sub, then only hook up the brown wires.

 

Hope this helps, if you have any questions just let me know.

cool thanks, yeah forgot to mention my truck dosen't have bose. my plan is to add just an amp and subs for now, but i want to hook up all wires to be able to add another amp and replace all speakers.
