ok so i took my rcas from my hu and plugged it to my friends amp and no sound, i was like wtf. so i then plugged the rcas from my hi low adapter to his amp and they were playing on his subs.

so the rcas on the hu work with the dealers harness. this could only mean one thing the wiring on my harness is bad??

on the unit i have
i have power to power red to red
memory to memory yellow to yellow
blue turn on to blue turn on, with amp turn on on it as well
orange illumination to itself
ground to chasis

on the cars harness i have
black on the wiring harness taped up to itself.


what could be wrong, wtf? thats it right? why arent my rcas not working in my car??? what could be the problem guys? neeed help asap

 

dont the rca's plug ifnto the cd player and not into the harness?

umm..i'm not sure..if you have a circuit city and a spare $30 or so i HIGHLY recommend getting thier wireing harnesses. One plugs into ur cd player and the other plugs into the car adapter and they are universal in the middle. so they just all plug right in and theres no wiring involved

 

uhm i already have a harness, and i would rather a crackhead touch my car then one of those goons

 

any suggestion guys?

 

no man that stuff is do it urself...u just buy them and click them all together...i dont let them do **** either..although i've suckered them into diagnosing problems.

 

bro i dont need a harness, something is wrong with the wiring of my hu, but i dont know what it is

 

Did YOU verify that the HUs outputs work, or did you just take your dealers word for it?

If it doesnt work in your car OR your friends, then sounds like a HU problem to me.

try gettin a new harness, maybe one of the wires or leads on the harness melted. dunno what else to tell ya, unless maybe try to unwire your connections and wire them back up to see what happens. did the rca's used to work before , i mean did they just go out on their own one day or did it happen when you switched the hu? good luck.

 

Stop focusing on the wiring of the HU. If you have power to turn it on and the amps turn on, then your fine. Signal and power are sperate issues.

Why are you using a hi/low adapter if your HU has RCA outs? SInce you said the RCAs from your hi/low work on your friends subs, did you try to run that same RCA to whatever it is you're trying to get signal to?

 

thanks for the info guys

Don, when i went to the dealer they hooked it up to thieri amps, and it was playing on the display. its a brand new hu from alpine.how do i check if it is sending out volts? put the probes inside the rca output?

btw bluemax the rcas were working before with my xplod amp, but now nothing, doesnt work for 4 differnt amps

 

ok so me and my boy was fawking around with it, now it plays through the amp but at a very very very low level, and alll the gains are up. he said i need an rca booster?

 

uhh, you shouldn't unless your RCAs are uber long. are the settings on the HU ok? nothing turned down?

i'm still dumbfounded

 

Why dont you just bring it down and Ill take a look at it.

 

take it to Don, he'll prolly get the bugs out...and give you a good smack if it's something simple like a lose connection or something.

 

i told him that days ago...

 

i would like to but i cant, well maybe if i go with one of my boys cuz my licensed is suspended right now. Could you send me directions? im also kind of intrested in some alpine tvs

 

Oh, how did you get your license suspended? Did that fake cop actually do something?

 

na i was reving my engine at this mustang so we started to race down jamaica ave, i didnt know he was detect though.

 

neways what could cause an rca signa to be low? because my boy hooked his hu up to my amp and the volume was maaad high on the hu but it was playing low. i mean higher than what my hu was. it was actually playing pretty normal. but what could cause a low signal? btw he had a pioneer premier hu

 

ok so slickrick told me to disconnect the rear bose and it works now, but sounds low, everything does

 

Ummm why should it sound 'low' it should sound Perfect, as GOD has spoken

 

everyting thats happening right now is what happened to my xplod amp and kicker sub. i had the gains all the way up bass boost all the way up and lpf alll the way up. now it sounded clean and it bassed hard, now when that ground wire on the amp came loose the main fuse under the hood blew. once i changed the fuse the amp was like new, gain couldnt been pass halfway or sound distorted same with bass boost and lpf, but the thing is the rca output from the hu was louder

 

LMAO!!!!!!

 

Ok, then like I said contact a parent/guarian/chaffuer/etc to drive your a$$ down here so I can see this mess...

Or...flatbed that Bish here.

 

but something is not right, the bose tweeters in the a pillars is killing my ears, and it is the only thing the hu is ran to. i wonder if i reconnect the bose in the rear maybe it would sound better? dammit man my whole car is ****ed!

 

how about monday? no not monday.. hhm lol ill pay u to come jk. how do i get there from queens? or from where eric lives?

 

How? I figure have someone drive you

Now that we know YOU driving is a




It takes about 35 mins to get here, although directions? Im not too sure about. Either Mapquest it, or ask in the NE forum. TONS of NYers come here

 

35 mins? dam i thought it took 3hrs!! im comming now

 

Sure no problem, but if you see a red dot on your chest, I suggest you run





......Fast

 

thats what i do when i see redlights, i just drive faster

 

Thats why you have no license now

 

but seriously man, it sucks to throw money into a system and not enjoy it. i mean i bought all alpine because i trusted the name. maybe im wrong, and its just me. i dont know man. since january ive been buying stuff for it, bigger wire, 2 way coaxials, amp, sub etc. and no luck till today. i dont know man this shiet aint for me

 

Dont get distraut over it, you fell into the loop of all the Hype. Just be thankful you have us here and you learned early. Seriously.

It is enjoyable to bust your *****, but its all just in fun.

 

lol i dont mind about the bursting my ***** part its just that i didnt go the cheap way out this time, i saved up the extra money, i mean i work fawkin 30 hours a week and go to school, and my job cant let me work more hours because im a minor. all my money goes into this car. i still need struts, springs. front back bumpers, stillen kit, and paint job. the system is really holding me back

 

Coulda just asked me to begin with...I woulda taken care of ya. But then again you wouldnt of bumped up your post count like 23704617206352362103578 with all the issue your having

 

i know i know, but my dealer is like 10 seconds away from me, and i love that store, and i trust them and im cool with them. Thats like my toy store, i never go in there one day and not be happy with all the products i see. I would come to you but the only thing that was holding me back was that you were in Jersey. I didnt know how far out you were or not. I mean others told me how Polo got all his stuff from you, so i thought you just dealt with top of the line products and people who only wanted expensive and highend equitment. i never thought i would get so into car audio. I mean if i needed something i would go to my dealer, but now its like i go their for everything.

 

I understand and yes I do deal with Alot of 'higher' end equiptment but I also sell alot of generic/entry level products as well.

Half of the people that come/came to me end up coming back just to BS. I talk to a ton of them on AIM and on the phone as well. Im Very personal with everyone and they get my full attention, not sales pitches.

--Don

 

can you pm me your number?

 

so right now i plugged in back the rear bose and im bumpin off the hi low adapter. it sounds ok. whats the difference when played off the hi low, and played off the hu? is it louder from the hu?
