    Reverse camera issue

    All the cables are tight. I just tried again and tested the RCA cable from the camera with a voltmeter and got 12V from it which doesn’t seem right.

    Reverse camera issue

    I plugged the yellow RCA from the camera into the brown RCIN port on the radio. The manual said that’s the right port for the camera

    Reverse camera issue

    Hi all I am installing a reverse camera for my father and his 2008 Dodge ram 3500. He has a pioneer DMH-1500NEX radio and I bought Boss LPCB40 camera on Amazon. I was just trying to see if it would work first, so I hooked it up to the correct port on the radio (I checked the manual) and as for...

    No remote adjustment?

    Actually, I think I had the adjustment knob turned down while I was setting gain! Rookie mistake

    No remote adjustment?

    Finally had the time to set the gain. I was shooting for 33.17 V and had to turn the gain to the max to get around 33.1. Guess that’s as close as I can get! Thanks

    No remote adjustment?

    Ok so I turned the level up quite a bit and it sounds much better. (I know its not a volume knob, but it's working for the time being until everything is fixed). I retried installing my regular cheap amazon in line adjustment knob and it worked great! I switched the RCA cable between the radio...

    No remote adjustment?

    I don’t mean to come off rude, but what would hooking the amp up to my phone prove? Because I know the amp and sub are functional. Also, ikpthegame was right, turning the bass boost knob did give me more volume. Thanks for your help, I guess I’ll just turn that up until it sounds worse!

    No remote adjustment?

    I apologize, I think I was unclear. I connected RCA cables from the radio into the "input" side of the adjustment knob. I connected RCA cables from the "output" side of the adjustment knob into the "input" side of the amp. Later today, I can try changing the low pass and seeing if that helps...

    No remote adjustment?

    I have the bass boost set to 0, low pass set to about 300, level is set to 4V because it is a Boss BE62CP which outputs 4v, and subsonic set to about 25 hz. Thanks

    No remote adjustment?

    So I tried two different adjustment knobs and neither did anything. I bought an inline adjuster instead. I plugged a short RCA cable into the radio and into the input side of the knob, and plugged in the RCA cables that lead to the amp into the output side. At full adjustment the sub barely...

    No remote adjustment?

    Hi all. I recently bought a used Jensen Power 900.1 amp. I wired it to a 24 year old 12" MTX 250 watt 4 ohm sub. The main issue is that the remote adjustment knob doesn't adjust anything. When I plug that wire into the amp, its a bit loose but even when I push it in it does nothing. Secondly...

    Amp not working Advice

    Hi all, I am still fairly new to car audio, so I figured I'd come to the experts. I have a boss head unit and a sound ordanence 8" powered sub that work great. I recently picked up a mtx 12" sub that is 24 years old, and a bazooka ela500.1. I wired it the same as my powered subwoofer, and used...
