Aftermarket Stereo help

[avant_karl]

I've just fitted a aftermarket stereo in to my 55 plate a4 avant.
I have the radio working no problems but cant get the rear speakers to work. I had the symphony 2 (cd/tape) in before.
I have the connects 2 PC9-404 with the blue wire running of the stereo live but only get interference. What am i missing?

The rear speaker need their own power feed or should I say the rear amp does.

What stereo have you fitted?

What stereo have you fitted?

Its a cheep Chinese one.
The PC9-404 lead has 2x rca's and a blue wire to connect to a ignition live which i've connected to the to amp-on coming from the stereo so its got power going to it.

Are all 3 connector blocks hooked up?

 

[avant_karl]

Yes mate all 3 blocks connected and all works apart from the rear speakers and sub in the boot. i can only get interference through the speakers at the minute.

You need a Hilo converter
I had this problem when I fitted mine
That autoleads pc thingy is no use even though xtron advise to use it

Would one of these do the job?
Guessing left and right + and - and then the 5th wire would be the live
