Make sure that it's hooked to the front speaker wires, the rear speakers are tuned down in power because they are close to the ears.

Haha - you got everyone wondering now. You think you could reach out to your trail buddy/av expert and ask him whats up?
would you guys suggest de programming the rear speakers? Theres a component you can buy, I believe JL Audio, that connects to the receiver... If I'm not mistaken, it de programs it and flattens all audio levels so that the amp is working with a "blank canvas"... I'm just not sure how necessary it is. Depending on how it all sounds, Ill make that decision.
Once installed (or blown up), I will get back to you all regarding sound quality. If its even near the old setup I had (factory Infinity upgrade), then I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

Hey,
I have two 12" kickers I'm
Running off a 750 watt pioneer. Honestly, I just tied the amp into my rear speakers. No rca's, and it sounds just fine to me and my friends that ride with me. They can't tell. If you wanna make your speakers louder overall you need to run them through an amp. A 250 should be fine for smaller speakers. Just saying. Haha
