Newbie needs help with RCA Output ?'s

[DouglasABaker]

So you have 2 way components in the front and a pair of full range in the back. Tapping the full range in the back somehow gave you a degraded signal to the full range speakers which means you did it wrong. Not trying to be smart, but if you tapped in and wired them correctly then there would be no change in sound to the full range speakers.

What you did initially was the correct way to wire them, something must have gone wrong (bad wire tap, shorted wire, I can only guess).

I do know that by combining the signal from the Left Front and the Left Rear you have now created a possible short or feedback loop into the head unit.

Your next sentence seems to indicate that you then decided to wire all 4 of the front speakers to the left channel and both of the rear speakers to the right channel with the sub amp on the rear channels. This will give you a left-right instead of a front-back soundstage, but hey, if sounds good to you, go for it!
