headunit

My double-DIN Pioneer has bit the dust and it's time for something new but as I was reviewing my needs, I'm struggling to find something that ticks all the boxes, so I'm wondering if anyone can make a recommendation that I've overlooked. I use my Android phone exclusively; for maps, calls &...

I recently install a 4 channel amp with a set of super tweets on the dash and a pair of 6.5s in the front doors. I have rcas running from the front rca output on my headunit to a pair of spliters into my other 2 channels on my amp .I just got a new set of 4 channel rcas. How should i run the...

What headunit do yall reccomend? (06-11 civic si) Im going to run 2 12s. I want something decent quality, Id rather not spend over 250 but if its a huge stepup/worth it to go with things in the 300s then might as well, also want a double din.

Hi all. I have to following equipment: Pioneer AVH 1550 Head unit, Memphis Car Audio 6x9 SR speakers. Vehicle is an 04 F150 (new body style not heritage) with half doors. With all speakers installed, I can not edit my rear speakers, the headunit does not recognize that I have rear speakers. The...

have a Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX headunit in my 2017 Focus ST. Besides the t-harness from idatalinks focus specific kit, it's connected with a idatalink maestro rr as well to maintain the steering wheel controls. All of a sudden one day it started restarting songs and/or skipping songs. Sometimes it...

I'm looking for a double din stereo with 4-5 volt preamp voltage. I'd like it to have a front facing USB that's capable of sending near CD quality signal. I need at least 3 rca channels, and I'd like it to also have a decent amount of SQ based settings. I don't really care about carplay and...

I want to know what to look for in an aftermarket head unit as far as sound quality. What specs should I be looking at to determine if one HU will sound better than another. I have a 2002 Saturn L200 with a BOSS BV755B headunit and honestly it's done everything I've needed but I feel like I...

I have a 2012 Subaru Impreza Wagon base model that came with a Kenwood head unit. I have upgraded the front door speakers as well as installed upgraded factory kicker tweeters, as the car didn't come with any since it is a base model. I was taking a look at the factory rear door speakers and...

This is a long story that happened over about a month so I am going to try to keep it short and simple. First my subwoofers went out not sure if they're blown or not (amp still on). Next came one of my back door speakers, followed my one of my front door speakers. I was left with two door...

Hi there I’m very new to the car audio game and I’m looking to set up a new system in my volvo 240, looking for a no bells and whistles but high power head unit to start with, is like Bluetooth but don’t need cd or colour changing or anything like that. I want to set up external amps so does...

Just bought a 2004 mustang from some lady in kansas. When I bought it, she mentioned to me that "the stereo just needs to be plugged in, don't worry." She had already attempted to install a new head unit on her own, and made it a whole lot more confusing for me. Hopefully you guys can help...

Hey all, Lately my head unit has been randomly displaying Output Error which cancels out all sound from the speakers and only plays sound out of the sub. Taking off the faceplate then pressing the reset button fixes it temporarily then it randomly happens again. I just re-wired everything...

I have this head-unit on the way. I have yet to hear anything but the best about this head unit. Can't wait to install it. Does anyone here own one?

So I have a somewhat crappy aftermarket head unit (Boss 460BRGB) so that if my car is broken into and it is stolen it wont be too bad a hit. Anyways I recently installed a Hifonics Zeus ZXX-1000.4 amp for my 4 kenwood 6x9 speakers. The two door 6x9s are rated at 115w rms at 4 ohm and the rear...

Warning this question will probably sound extremely dumb. So in short, if I have an OEM headunit and i use a line level converter to output to rca and then used a rca to aux 3.5mm adapter. Could I use that output for an aux input on another headunit? Thanks.

I am looking at buying a couple of rearview headrest DVD monitors for my car. Obviously these can connect to one another to play the same movie but is there a way to connect them to my head unit so I can play a movie from my head unit to the rearview monitors? I would also want to play movies...

Hi I have a Kenwood Deck with a 5 channel amp. My amp is powering my door speakers and subs at 40 RMS to the door speakers. Now I know this is probably not doable because I dont have a deep enough understanding of bridging but as far as I am aware a bridgeable channel is one that can handle 1-2...

Hello yall, I have a 06 Nissan Altima, I installed a new HU today (kenwood dpx702bh) and I'm all finished up. One issue maybe two.... When I start the car and my headunit is not on (because I did not hook up the ground wire yet) my amplifiers turn on just fine. But.. when I hook up my ground...

Huzzah! I have a new car! A really fast car, with a super beefy alternator designed for installing all sorts of stuff that runs on electricity ! Bummer it ***** for sound. For those of you not in the know, the PI Sedan is a suped up Taurus, and much of the mods that can be done to it are...

What's up everyone, first post here. I've reached a point where my system's sq just doesn't satisfy my ear, although it does for others. The headunit supposedly has a 24 bit dac, but it doesnt sound like it. It hass limited tuning capabilities (basic 7 or 8 band, basic l or r time alignment...

I'm thinking of getting a double din touch screen head unit. I already have a aftermarket single din with a harness and was wondering if the double din requires a diffrent kind of harness or do I just need to plug N play it. Thanks.

Hey all, Brand spanking new to the forum because no one else has an answer! I have a 75 Porsche 911S which has a very simple stereo setup. Headunit - powered, switched, grounded. Turns on fine. Pioneer DC or DEH something or other. New, bluetooth, not expensive. Speakers - Shelf box setup...

Hello! So today I finished installing my kenwood 4 channel amplifier in conjunction with my kenwood ddx419 HU. Now my front ANL fuse off the battery was blown so there is no power going to the amp as of right now, so i'm not sure if that's the problem but anyway this is what is happening, My...

I am no expert in car audio, but I have had my fair share of aftermarket stereos. From a simple passive LOC/amp/sub setup to full system upgrades. My first setup was a basic passive LOC, connected to an amp and sub. I upgraded piece by piece until I had some door speakers, and then upgraded a...

First, I apologize if this is the wrong section to post in! Anyways, my setup I have purchased are a Pioneer AVH-2600BT, an Alpine MRX-M110, and 2 Alpine SWS-12ds's. I am wondering if I need, or it would be highly beneficial to get a line driver for my my amp and subs? I ask this because my...

I am just helping my friend try to find a good head unit, for right around $100! I love alpine, so I told him to look at those, what about kenwood, I heard that you shouldn't go under 5500 series with kens? Not 100% on that though! Any suggestions help! Thanks!

Hello, My JVC KD-R731BT keeps resetting the options I have set (colour, brightness, demo mode, ect) apart from the radio stations when I turn my ignition off. I installed the iso connecter that came with the unit to my car, as stated in the manual. It works fine apart from that. Any help is...
