Scosche SLC4 LOC Help
Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a Scosche SLC4 LOC to give my stock HU (base model) pre-amps. After splicing into the harness for RR and RL and hooking up the scosche I'm getting surprisingly good results. However I'm running into an issue I hope someone here can address.
I'm unable to hook both RCA's running out of the LOC to my amp. With only RR hooked up I get perfect sound, with only RL hooked up I get perfect sound. However when I hook both up to the amp, I lose about 80% of the power.
I've double checked the splices into the harness, and every other component in the system I'm unable to diagnose this problem. It seems to me that because RR or RL work fine by themselves all my wiring is fine.
If anyone could offer some insight on what else I could try to troubleshoot this, please let me know.
Thanks,
AnarchE

They are out of phase.. either the left or right is backwards. For example..
LR + ---> LR +
LR - ---> LR -
RR + ---> RR-
RR - ---> RR+
double check everything.. if you're using rear speaker wires then RED & BLACK are your postives
LR + ---> LR +

cool.. yeah when one rca jack is plugged in and it sounds fine, but when both are in the sound pretty much disappears it's because something is out of phase.. what happens is the signal from say the left channel is fine, but the right channel will be reversed.. cancelling each other out basically.. so just disconnect one channel *right or left* and switch the + and - around.. and then your problem should go away.. if it's not that.. then it's your wiring on the subs.. are you running 2 seperate subs?

Thanks again Slody.
