Hello yall.
I own the DEH-P7200HD Pioneer head unit. I bought it about 2 years ago and install it.
I installed 2 front alpines 4 ohms each and 2 rear sony xPlodes 4 ohms each.
Then RCA goes to thhe rear Monoblock alpine amp 300Watt RMS output which powers 2 DUAL 12" Subs in a box. Each is 8 ohms but they are parallel so that makes 4 ohms.
he system works perfectly, it is crystal clear, and can go loud with the same quality, bass hits great.
But I have an issue.
----------------------------
I followed the wiring diagrams and it said Yellow is constant 12 volts to the head unit, did that and checked it with meter and works properly.
Red is the Ignition/accessory power to the head unit, did that too, checked with meter and works properly.
My battery is an AC-Delco battery with 950 CCA and brand new, connectors and all wiring in between checks out properly.
Its a 1996 Beretta Z26 that was recently redone and now it sits in a garage on a trickle charger.
I noticed that when it sits for an extended period of time, the Pioneer head unit resets itself back to out of the box demo factory settings.
Am I missing something here? I am tired of it resetting if the car sits longer than a few days.
What did I do wrong?
I never noticed this before as the car was always in use every day to every other day...
Thanks for the help, I'm out of answers...
EDIT:
I will just buy a programmable 12 volt DC timer and install it on the car. I will have it turn the radio on every other day for a few minutes...
