Anyone else want to add input? Maybe 80 for the sub and box 80 for the amp

I am wanting to get rid of this system just sitting collecting dust Some of my friends want sub/amp badly but cant afford new $$$$ Anyway, items are: (all about 3-4 years old, only about a 1-2 years of use, Good working condition) 10" Kicker CompVR subwoofer... in a large vented box. It...

Yeah that is what was going through my mind as I was doing this... just if it werent for the a/m alarm and weird ECU but now I will ALWAYS unplugg the battery But i'm hoping someone here knows if what happened to me is normal... for the HU to be 12v hot when not even turned on

I have been wondering if what happened is normal. Is the head unit supposed to be hot like that with the ignition off? I know there is a wire for memory stuff and clock but not the red 12v hot wire.... I have a feeling my HU is wired up incorrectly and I need to look up what color means what

Okay how would this troubleshooter work: Take my stock head unit and plug it into the radio plug, that wouldnt work though would it? because the speakers and the sub (of course) are wired through the amp in which the stocker cannot connect to Or find another a/m HU and try to use that...

Im looking at the Alpine CDE-9881, and it only has 2 pre amp output voltage. Should I shoot for higher? Does it make much of a difference, 2 and 4? My Pioneer is only 2....

thanks, i'll try that

Well I think I did damage something since it has that noise when it was on my original ground (bad ground) and also on the new one (which is good, part of the car and not the HU) So I guess I learned that I need to have a good ground going to my HU even when i'm not using it. The popping noise...

thanks for the reply i dont see why it would short it out unless the HU was hot when I did all of this. Key was out of the ignition... is something wrong here? And I think it may have fried it because i still had the buzzing when the ground was bolted to the HU bracket itself, and then I moved...

Lol sorry I got carried away: -There were a few dangling wires connected to my head unit through the [aftermarket] HU adapter -They were just cut, not covered, so they touched metal, and the HU was UNGROUNDED/grounded improperly (oops? but I thought it wasnt supposed to be hot with no key in...

This is kind of long, so I really appreciate it if you try to help me out. The head unit is about 3 yrs old, its a pioneer 4600MP but still plays my mp3 discs fine (or did) I had my car stereo installed about a year ago (last summer, all done professionally except what I did alone which was...

Okay at circuit city I had a python 460HP keyless entry alarm system setup. They installed the little red blinking light in/on the top of the plastic cover that surrounds my head unit and empty slot. After I took that little plastic panel off (to change something on the back of my head unit) I...

I have a (old) pioneer DEH-4600MP mp3/cd player and now it won't play CD's. I get: "Error - 23" When trying to play any CD. This started when I put in a cd (with mp3 files) in, and I burned the cd using some off brand crappy burning program. I dont have my manual anymore, and tech support @...

hey guys i have a kicker SX series amp, the one with the digital readout. basically i made my low pass like 23 hz and my hi pass like 43 hz, then the gain on both of them 12.0 dB then the gain for the amp 12 dB. Then there is another gain (boost/cut?) i set it to 9 i think. What should I set...

I decided to put this in general for the quickest responses... I have a kicker amp and it's 2 channel. There is L + and L - and R+ and R - Right now my sub is in both R's, but to bridge it do I go L+ and R- or the other way??? :crazy: thanks
