frustrating

Alright, I have an Arc Audio 2500xxk, old clarion H/U (no pre outs), eclipse 4 chan amp, treo ss 10" d4 (wired to 8 ohms), and CDT comps.

I got the soche LOC from wall mart and wired it up to the H/U. I already had power, ground (0GA), etc.. ran. Everything worked fine but, when I pushed the H/U into the dash and turned it on, NOTHING.

The Arc was in protect so I checked all of the wiring. I couldn't find a problem so I ran a new remote, re-wired the LOC, and checked ohms, RCA's, etc.. I still have no sound! The H/U is reading disks and shows that it is playing, I'm pretty sure the amps are fine but what else can I do to find this short or whatever the hell it is. Thanks.

Disconnect the LOC's outputs and read the voltage with a sine wave. Could be too high for your amps.

im not sure how walmarts versions are but i know the pac's hi level convertor comes turned all the way down from the factory and no you can't hear it at all without turning it up. or you could just have a manufacturer's defective piece. they are quite common in those lil bastards

I'll try to read the voltage like you said 157, but why would it work and then stop. I tuned everything before I pushed the H/U in, so it was working fine for about 30-45 min.

if it worked before you pushed in the HU, then most likely something disconnected and/or shorted.

I don't have any voltage with the sine wave. I'm gonna take the loc back and change it for a new one. I'll update later if it worked or not.

Fuck it. I got a new LOC, same problem. What am I missing here?
