Okay I got the problem figured out on my own...the ground wire just wasn't strong enough on the Altima...even though it also had a supplemental ground from the antenna...& if that isn't f'ed up I don't know what is...

Let's talk '99 JVC KD - S640 in-dash cd/am-fm receiver...I've got one with no idea why it won't work...it's got juice but it won't stay powered up & I get no sound when anything I'm about to describe happens...I can get it to take a cd & eject it(the antenna goes up & back down in...

have you checked with wal-mart ? scosche has them for all types of cars with no wait (the brand carried at wal-mart around where I'm at...or check scosche.com...it should be in line with the connectors on the chrysler or dodge sections...I think

I'll just go ahead & say that the previous two post have this one nailed tight...a short wire with the right gauge will be the way to go so find a point close & sand it clean...& watch out for the factory smoke in all your electronic components

alot of amp have an adjustment on the side that will turn down the juice so you might want to check that on the amp you're looking at first & see if you can work with it & that sub...just a thought

try a fully sealed box with out ports...I know it's a little off beat for a lot people but it could be what you need in this case or you could try insulating the box with poly fiber like they use in pillows to slow the air flow a little...stuff it like a it's a chick with no tits

check the alternator like was already said...then if need be have it beefed up at an alternator & starter shop your system will run like a champ with more amps...if you get the corny line

the alternator is the way either through beefing...or through a new aftermarket...but check beefing yours first...call the shops

if you have the toolset then you should be able to put the two U-shaped pieces into the two holes on each side of the receiver or if you don't then take an old wire clothes hanger & cut & shape it...but if there aren't any holes then you should have another release mechanism of some...

I had that problem in my old mustang until I beefed my alternator(75amp to 140amp) & got a bigger battery(660amp to 770amp)...that & if you're running a stinger cap it's over rated on it's power...that worked pretty well for me...but I don't know enough to say that it's all you'll need

ok I got the radio to where it'll put up a display for a moment & the antenna goes up & comes back down each time the display flashes when I press the display button or the eject button...but still won't play & won't stay on...what I did is hooked the power antenna into the remote...

yeah I tried that...what I'm wondering is should I hook the three harness wires into that acc. line on the radio...I know that the ant. & ill. should go there but the ign. is the real prob for me...I guess it'll get figured out soon enough

Okay, I have a jvc that was given to me & a nissan wiring harness...on the harness I have the igniton,power antenna, & illumination wires without a forsure place to go & only the accessory wire left on the radio...& when in the car hooked in I'm getting no power from the radio at...
