Ordered a new Pioneer MOSFET today.... the one in my unit is a PAL007A, the new one they are sending is a PAL007B so I wonder if they improved upon the original at all.... It was $36.68 shipped which is a good bit but worth a shot if it'll fix it. One of the guys slipped on the phone and even...

Bump.

My amp'd outputs failed -- my RCA's were fine though... until this happened. I have the headunit disassembled on my desk now and found the large MOSFET on the back is burnt but I think that is for the amp'd outputs not the RCA's.... I'm trying to find out what else failed. _Kris

Thanks, dick... I'll remember your contribution for the next thread you make. _Kris

Looking for a damaged or broken Pioneer DEH-P8600MP for parts, let me know what you guys got! Thanks, _Kris

In my quest to find what may be damaged inside my HU, I am curious, besides the all too common OEL ribbon failure, what internal failures or damage from too much amperage/voltage is known to occur in these bad boys? Thanks, _Kris

My Pioneer headunit was overvolted and I'm trying to now repair it... anyone know where I can find some good diagrams of the circuit boards? I dont want to pay a big shop to repair it, not worth the money but if I can repair it than I'd feel pretty good. I'm quite handy with the soldering iron...

I'm not carpeting it as things will be getting reworked once I collect all the wiring materials and relocate the battery to the trunk. Hardware is as follows.... the headunit will be replaced by a Lulliput 7" TS and attached to a trunk mounted PC. Pioneer DEH-8600MP headunit Lanzar...

Okay, here is my equipement: Pioneer DEH-8600MP headunit Lanzar Vibrant-416 4ch amp MTX Thunder-2160 2ch amp MB Quart DSE-216 components Infinity 1230w 12" Referance sub 4-way fuse block Optima 51R 'Yellow top' battery .75 cu.ft sealed enclosure for the sub, to be remade later at 1.0...

Cliffnotes at bottom. Well my 1995 Nissan 240sx came with the OEM 'Bose' headunit, Linear Research 6.5" speakers in the doors and rear deck, OEM 'Bose' tweeters in the A-pillars, as well as a MTX Thunder2160 300w(nominal) amplifier powering two 12" no-name subs. This setup was far from ideal...

That makes sense, didnt consider fade. I am leaning towards leaving on the fronts in as many are reccomending that. The whole, audio would come from up front in a concert thing and all... ~Kris

What would be the benifit of a 4ch amplifier over a high output 2ch amplifier to power the front and rear? ~Kris

Bump.

I have a 1995 Nissan 240sx and sound wasnt a focus to me until my OE equipement failed and a couple of good deals came my way. With that said I want to make the audio nice but am on a budget. I am into SQ, not boom/comp and I will be installing a carputer that I am building right now (only hold...
