yeah i probably do. i havent wired 6.5" speakers before. and the gains i was tampering with so to say. any advice? its a week point.
sounded to me like you wanted him to ground the shieldingif you say "Ground the RCA" it doesn't tell someone what to do. ground what? the center pin??? that would be a bad idea.
that's why I clarified how to do it. the purpose of grounding the shield on one RCA is to verify if something inside the deck (ahem, Pioneer) has failed resulting in noise due to a lack of continuity to reference ground. Really, it's just a Pioneer fix because of their silly diode. And since all RCA shields are internally tied to signal ground (not always chassis ground, and does not apply to balanced two-wire systems) then you only need to do one shield.
in the future, don't say "ground the RCA" since it isn't telling the whole story and someone could damage their gear trying it improperly. instead, provide proper advice by suggesting they "ground the shield of one RCA at the head unit). details are important when giving advice.
That is the single din of what I have.. the only differnce is I can add on GPS, back up cam.. If you do decide on that one and you dont have your sound stage amped, I would recommend the KTP-445 power pack. Its cheaper then adding a 4 channel and puts out enough power for about any thing you would needyeah thats what i was thinking. Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. eh?
that's the point. the shield on the RCA is what you need to ground. an equal solution is to ground the outer rca jack on the HU. when the pioneer diode "pico fuse" pops from someone messing with RCA's while the HU is on, you lose continuity between ground and the RCA shield. as a result, the amp receives a "floating" input which results in a potential difference between HU ground and amp ground.sounded to me like you wanted him to ground the shielding
