More SA8V2 problems :)

At this point, I would consider all options.
A few simple tests with different RCA's and such will reveal all when you get the time for it.

So how is the box/sub performing for you? Well off the phone at least lol.

That was the only song I played lol, its crisp and perfect by any definition, and built like a rock //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Where are you guys located anyway? Its a long way off but I will be doing a trunk wall. Also, it was funny when he said it was tuned to 27hz, he brought my over to their box tuning software, and said look!! showed the DB slope of 27hz with an 8" woofer, it was perfectly flat response. All I said was, well for an SQ box, its perfect. he all butt mad, (turns to his coworker and says hes talking SQ garbage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ) then said tuning higher, "shows me the 2db peak" would completely change everything.. U srs bro haha

We are in OKC. If you ever want to come down for a build just let me know. I have a guest room that is normally open for the most part.

Figure her out? I once had an older alpine deck that you actually had to turn on the sub output from the deck. Took me a few to figure that out, lol.

Did you get a chance to try the new RCA yet? At least now we have it down to a deck/RCA issue. I'd unplug the harness from the deck (so it whipes everything), then plug it back in. So you have entirely fresh settings. Then find someone with the same deck as you, to go over it with, step by step.

Just tried my stinger RCAs with no difference //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Checked the output settings again, there isn't much for sub. Just cross frequency (80hz), db slope(12db), and output level -24 to +6(Level at 0). The sub still sounds like mud... So its the deck, no question.. Keep in mind this has all been from the harddrive.. I did use the same MP3 on my phone to test when it sounded so much better. But maybe the MP3 Decode in the deck is screwy?? I'm not sure but it seems unlikely. If anyone has ideas im open to it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif BTW Rabbit that sounds legit man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Going to be a long.. long time tho Q_Q

On a side note, the install was very clean and cared for. It seems like they did a very nice job. On a weird note, the rear stage is still run through the stock BOSE amp in the trunk weird.... So there are rear RCAs - BOSE amp - Rear Speakers.. Front RCAs - HertZ EP4 - Front mids and highs Sub RCAs - SAZ1K - Sub Also all of the grounds are tied together.. I could have sworn it needed a frame ground but w/e

Seems to me maybe the settings used to encode the audio onto the harddrive are messed up...

No encoding onto the harddive, just copied it onto it just like I did to the phone. Im trying another usb drive I have. same MP3.. Ill edit this post with the results

LOL so the drive I tried is formatted in NTFS and the deck only reads FAT32 so that was a waste of time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I have this other drive setup to boot windows 7 so I dont feel like formatting it... Any ideas on what to try next?

Forgive my ignorance, but does your deck have a regular CD drive? If so, try a real cd?

I own not a single CD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif nor do I have blank CDs to burn.... despite this, awesome idea //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What I really want to try is the AUX input on the deck with my phone.. But I gave all my AUX cables to my brother //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Just bluetooth streamed it to the deck, exactly the same poop out of the sub RCAs... Yet direct connect to a phone with the headphone to RCA adapter sounds so good.. Guess im in the market for a new deck

The deck seems pretty nice. It has to be the way its setup man. Find someone on here with the same one and copy their settings to the T
