You didn't cut them off the radio, right?

The pbr300x2 should always use the high level inputs. It sounds better that way.

I'm not an i.X device fan but it sure was convenient having that small iPod. So I did just as DisneyDave did.

Being in IT, I need a real phone to work with so Android it was.

Well whichever way you did it, if you followed my advice it's right! LOL

Pioneer74 is right. These PBR amps sound MUCH better using speaker wire inputs to them.

I'm baffled why you would cut them off rather than just leave them alone or tape them out of the way. School me.
