I wasn't expecting them to send me a complete kit :-) just the faulty cable. I have just emailed them explaining that I cannot return the kit as it is now all chopped, soldered and installed but have asked them to send me a replacement battery cable.

Hi; I purchased a Rockford Fosgate complete amplifier wiring kit and half way through the installation I noticed that part way along the battery cable there appeared to be some swelling caused by possibly corrosion or some defect in the wire? I contacted the company who responded with an...

OK so I changed the connections on the amplifier for a two speaker system connecting the RCA to Front L and Rear L and the speakers to Front L+ and R+ and Rear L+ and R+. As stated in the install instructions I also turned on the LPF on the Amp. When I turned on the radio all I got was some...

Hmm, my speakers are Pioneer TS-A6923i 6 x 9 Coaxial which are rated at 60watt RMS 400 Watt Max Input. I bought the amp and speakers from CarAudioCentre who said they would be fine (I did state that these would be the only 2 speakers)? How do I 'watch my 'gains'?

Looking at the install instructions where the head unit only has one RCA output it looks like it should be bridge across both Rear and Front White RCA on the amp. Also for a two speaker system the diag shows two Subwoofers. One connected Rear Speaker and Front Speaker Output. Can I connect my...

Hi, I have just installed a Sony XM-N1004 with a couple of Pioneer 6x9 Coaxial Speakers. The Head Unit is a Sony XPlod CDX GT26. Once it was all wired up it worked first time but was not not the boom I was expecting. I have just realized that I accidentally connect the Signal cable from the...

Hi; I am putting the subject Amplifier in a Classic Mini. I have decided that the only place with sufficient room is the boot. I have opted to fit the amp to the underside of the parcel shelf, this way it is partly out of the way. To fit the amp I have opted to fit it to a piece of 12mm...

Hi; I purchased a Sony CDX GT26 from eBay and the yellow 12v switched cable that connects into the first ISO is missing. There is a 12v switched cable from the 16 pin socket in the rear of the Head Unit is fitted but it the terminates in a bullet connector to which the second (missing piece)...

I removed the radio from the car and checked al the connections, Head Unit to First ISO, ISO to Distribution Block etc. I found that the 12 Switched Feed Bullet connector that sits between the Head Unit and the First ISO was loose. Tightened it up and everything seems to be fine. WRT the...

I have two Head Units and both only have one RCA (L/R) out on the rear. I think they are labelled Rear/Sub Out

They are all discreetly different and as I have OCD I didn't want to mix them up :-) besides imho have found that asking too may mixed questions usually results in some not getting answered.

Hi; Car Audio Newbie here :-) I have bought a Sony XPLOD 4 Channel Amplifier (Install Instructions here). The pic on the Sony Support page is incorrect by the way it shows a 2 channel amp!! An want to add it to a recently purchased S/H Sony CDX GT26 (Or Pioneer DEH 1600R). Both head units...

Hi; I purchased a Sony CDX GT26 S/H from eBay as I needed a Head Unit with Aux In to replace my Pioneer DEH 1600R. I am doing a test of the head unit and have wired it up to a couple of Pioneer 25 Amp Speakers to the front L/R from the head unit. The ISO connector fitted to head unit was...

Hi; I purchased a S/H Sony CDX GT26 from eBay as I just needed a head unit with Aux In to replace my old Pioneer DEH-1600R. There appears to be a problem with the wiring on the back of the unit (dodgy connections) but for now the question I have is regarding connecting this to an external Amp...

Sorry - after a bit of fiddling with the ISO connectors the sound came on. The connectors are dodgy - either the one in the back of the Head Unit or the two separate ones that I had to buy off of eBay for Power and Speakers as the car one is for a Pioneer (which is one large connector as...
