if it were the calipers frozen would i not still have pressure at the pedal just inefective brakes??

It depends, usually you would still have some pressure. Just to make sure they aren't frozen get someone to look at the pistons while you depress the brake pedal. If the pistons move then its probably not a frozen caliper problem.

Did you press the pistins all the way in to get the new pads in? That might be your problem. The proper way is to push them in only far enough that you have a hard time to get the pads in.

What Ingo said, the loss of pressure could be caused because your pistons are pushed too far. Make sure there is no space between your pistons, and brake pads. It should be a little difficult to put the new pads in, that's how tight the fit should be.
Did you try pumping the brake pedal with the pads out as Ingo suggested?
