I replaced my stock 6x9's with a pair of pioneer 6x9's. Why do the pioneer's sound so low, i can barely hear them and the stock ones are realy loud, is there something wrong im doing??? Im just connecting them how the stock ones were connected. Is it that i need a amp for these????

1) Stock rears are 2 ohm, your pioneers are probably 4 ohm

2) Stock rears have mics built in and are part of the total AFBS system including their own AFBS amp in the trunk. If you get rid of the stock rear speakers, then you need to get rid of the stock rear AFBS amp as well. Aftermarket speakers don't work correctly with it.

okay i see now. By the way this may be a stupid question, where is the amp located???

Black metal box under the rear deck on the passenger side (behind the passenger side rear speaker). When you remove the connector from the AFBS amp, you will need to pass the HU speaker signals on to the speakers some way. AFBS amp connector wiring includes (colors are listed as wire color/stripe color):

Inputs from head unit:
left + : blu/yel
left - : gry/wht
right + : red/yel
right - : brn/wht

Outputs to speakers:
left + : pnk
left - : yel/wht
right + : wht/yel
right - : lt grn/wht
