crappy sound after pioneer HU install

[SaleenGT2001]

my front door speakers seem like they are barely playing and the rears sound like crap. i have adjusted the EQ on the receiver but nothing seems to help. the 460 tweeters sound good but are much louder than the rear and lower door speakers.
the head unit is a Pioneer avh-p4000dvd. everything else is stock. i'm using the metra harness.

thanks in advance

Make shure that your crossovers are turned off on your Pioneer, because the mach system has its own crossovers built into the amps.

i'm about to just rip out all the 460 stuff and put some rockford 6x8's in there instead. would that make everything sound right??

it should sound fine as is,
something isn't correct, sounds like the amps aren't functioning properly.

I woud check your harnesses and the radio, If the radio is new it probably ins't that, and if the factory system was working properly before you know it isn't that, so by process of elimination it would have to be in the harness or wiring.

If you bought a metra harness (especially from a circuit city)... we were noticing some faulty ones and especially with pinoeer, the pins weren't connecting properly, I had to fix a couple pins to get mine to work properly. sometimes they were pushing out (but not far enough to fall out completely) but enough that a clean connection wasn't being made.

have you tried moving the amp jack plugs to different input jacks on the back of the head unit????

if the deck has low pass filter and is "on" shutting it off might help too. not sure about the deck though.

moved the RCA's to different jacks and it still sounds crappy

check the settings on your deck. it's either that, or you got some wires connected wrong.

which metra harness you using? you should be using the metra 70-5519 if I'm not mistaken.
