I have a JVC KW-V830BT with a 6 inch display or so.  I'm assuming unlike a lot of electronics with display faces it is not glass but instead plastic.  I suppose any isopropyl/water mixture would clean it just fine, but I have a can of Plexus and wondering if I can use that on it?  I guess as...

After I read this I got to thinking and realized I had two LOCs installed--one for the front channel and one for the sub channel. So then I just decided to unplug the sub completely and use that LOC for the front channel to see if the problem persisted. If it didn't persist, then the LOC is...

You were spot on. I switched the left and right RCAs and the problem went away. Turned the car on and switched them back, problem was back. I drove around a little while too and the issue never appeared. If it's taking 9 months to show up, whatever the problem is, in switching the L/R I...

Hi all, I have a 2012 Camaro with a very unique and frustrating audio problem and came here for some help, but please bear with me it may be a little long… I first changed out my stock amp to a PPI 900.4 using a harness made by a small company called subthump. This allowed me to Plug N Play...

the banging on my equipment comment is kind of silly, i just hit the door panel where the wires run and the speaker was well on its way out before then, so it had nothing to do with it. as for clipping, i tested with a multimeter before install and according to that it is not clipping. also...

I have a 2012 Camaro with the upgraded audio system. I have since used a popular adapter harness that is a plug in play to replace the stock amp with a PPI 900.4. i did this about 4 years ago and ran the stock speakers/HU no problem. about a year ago my driver's side door speaker started...

i don't think my system is nice enough to do that, it's just a pretty basic "hey i added a sub to my car" kind of deal, so i don't want to put a lot of effort into this. i ordered a new terminal cup from amazon, but it seems like this buzzing is coming from the sub too even though i used the...

do either of you have recommendations on a better ported box for that subwoofer? as i mentioned earlier, i'm severely limited by size. i truly can't fit anything that has any single dimension higher than about 13".

I figured out what it is, but can't figure out how to fix it. Apparently all that buzzing is coming from where you plug the +/- speaker terminals in, it's the plastic speaker terminal box. I unscrewed it and it's just a solid piece of plastic, so i'm not entirely sure what is causing the...

yeah, it's pretty clearly audible here in the video. thanks for you guys' help.

hrmm...yes, it is a prefab box. link below. i also just took a video of my sub playing 50hz 0db test tone, even with the gain all the way at its lowest setting and with the sub nearly out of the trunk, it was making this noise. hopefully that upload will finish soon and i can post it. if it...

i've got a ppi 900.4 driving an infinity kappa 100.9w @ 450w in a ported box. i have the gain set somewhere in the 70% range, though it's hard to be very precise in percentages since there are no dials on the amp. in general it sounds good, but if i put some heavy bass rap in there i have a...

I have a 2012 Camaro with stock HU but PPI 900.4 (LOC) running 1 10" Kappa in a ported box and Polk db6501 front components. i have the gains turned up around 60% on my amp. i have a collection of mp3's i've gathered over the years (back when napster was legal, i downloaded a bunch). some...

i did have the dmm on ac volts, tried again at max volume and the reading was still 0.00. i also checked and apparently the gain is also at 50% on the sub and probably 40% on the mids. anything else i can really do aside from getting an o-scope here? like i said i don't think i'm hearing any...

OK, so did this and both RCA cables showed a grand total of 0.00 volts lol. I did a search and someone else had a similar problem with a completely different car trying this. Any other thoughts? I emailed the people who made the harness I linked to and they said 3v is the output of the HU...
