    2002 300M Special Infinity Spatial Imaging System Issue

    I have the factory Infinity Spatial Imaging system with 9 speakers.

    About 7 years ago, I had some new equipment installed by Car Tunes:

    Replaced the HU with: Pioneer DEH-P940MP
    Replaced the rear deck speakers with: Pioneer TS-D690R
    Replaced the front door speakers with: Alpine SPX-177A
    Added sub: Alpine SWS-1241D
    Added amps: JL Audio 300/4 to be used for the new fronts and rears, and JL Audio 250/1 for the sub

    My desire was to keep the existing Infinity factory amp to power the center channel speaker, the two coaxials in the lower front corners of the front windows, and the two speakers in the rear doors.

    The problem I have, and Car Tunes did not resolve, is that I have no sound coming from the center channel, the coaxials by the front windows, or the rear door speakers. I was told that the factory Infinity amp could still be used to power them, but I have no sound other than very faint from the driver side coaxial only.

    Would anyone happen to have any insight what the issue may be? Can the factory Infinity amp be used to power the factory center channel, the window coaxials, and the rears door speakers, while at the same time using my new amps to power the front doors, rear deck and sub?

    Thanks for your time...

    I'm sure that the factory amp could power them, but...where is it going to get a signal from? That Pioneer h/u is only stereo, no 5.1 or center output. Unfortunately, that spatial imaging stuff was mostly done by processors in the factory h/u, not the amps. When you switched that stuff out, you lost the center and imaging features of the oem unit. You've lost the ability to emulate a center channel.

    What he said...
    Take my advice: Do not try to build a system that includes EVERY feature. Start with the basics, build it to a bug free state, and THEN add on.
