Too many weeks bump.

Too many weeks bump.

8 week bump.

8 week bump... Just the sub left.

If you have the Pioneer loom that came with the unit, connect the red and yellow to the positive on a 12v battery and the black to the negative, then plug the head unit into it. If it doesn't turn on, the unit is dead. Check the fuse on the back of the head unit, if that's not blown, the unit...

I worked with those units and all the non-DVD head head units from the same era used the same Pioneer loom. So the Aerpro loom for DEH/MVH or whatever will work. What is the problem you're having? Wrong plug or not turning on? Pioneer have no plugs with wires in different spots so if the...

6 week bump and price dropped.

6 week bump and prices dropped.

Uses the same loom as the DEH and MVH models.

Nah, no warranty. As far as I can remember I bought it just before or just after I got my current car which was in 2010. It's only been taken out of it's box to have photos taken to sell. Postage would be:

4 week bump.

4 week bump.

That's what the insurance is for... Unless you have a sentimental attachment to a vehicle, just don't stress and let it be replaced if you're unlucky enough to have it taken. But for a car that I was attached to and couldn't be replaced, I'd still get a GPS tracker as most car thieves wouldn't...

It's pretty simple for a technician to replace it so you'd have to send/take it to a Pioneer authorized service agent. Use this page to find your nearest. Part should be around $20 plus their labour if it isn't under warranty.

Disconnect the speaker wires at the head unit. If it still does it with them disconnected, the internal amp IC has been blown. If it stops showing it, you have a speaker wire shorted somewhere.

RTFM :p Page 8 of your manual... Start reading at the bottom left and continue to the top right. I'd turn car off, head unit off, open boot and watch the amp... If it's still on, wait 5 mins or so as the computer shuts down a little more which might be keeping the head unit/amp on somehow. If...

Yeah, most 12" car audio subs that are designed for sealed enclosures require 1.0-1.5 cubic feet (28-42L). Choose you sub from how much power you have available and your requirements from the sub. If you just want great sound quality, then you could spend all your cash on a great single 12". If...

What navigation system? That unit has no navigation so I assume you're talking about some external add-on?

The capacitor won't cause any damage. People love to overreact about them.

It's just an echo :hit:

I don't usually recommend brands as I work as a technician for one of them. I've pretty much always used unique high end brands in my systems but I always buy my friends products from my mainstream brand workplace and their systems sound great as long as they're installed correctly. So I've...

They're 4 ohm subs rated at 250W nominal each so you would wire them in parallel to an amp that makes about 500W RMS at 2 ohm. Parallel means to join the positives on both speakers and connect to the positive on the amp and connect negatives on the speakers together and to the negative on the...

Aftermarket speakers are less efficient than stock speakers so usually require more power than an OEM head unit to sound better than OEM speakers. Your options to make them sound better: - Keep stock head unit and get an amp with high level (speaker) inputs - Keep stock head unit, a line output...

If it's stable at 4 ohm bridged, that means each channel individually is 2 ohm stable. Just look at the specs for any amp that does 4 ohm bridged, it'll have ratings for the individual channels at 4 ohm and 2 ohm, then the 4 ohm bridged rating. For example; Pioneer GM-A3602 - Continuous power...

Technically, you shouldn't wire speakers in series. I'd be running each one on it's own channel at 2 ohm, same power to speakers, but no chance of back EMF, like in series wired speakers. But if you're happy with it, keep it as it is :thumbsup:

When speaker wires are shorted out to each other Pioneer head units crackle and if it's left like that for long enough the magic smoke escapes and it doesn't work at all anymore... The wiring is wrong or shorted out somewhere (possibly common ground?).

Ahhh, they do too! COMMVES1-W554ABT Unfortunately, I don't want an Alpine unit... I just want the fascia to install my own double DIN unit.

What unit is that? Don't look at the Alpine one, it's $2,799 :eek:

I plug my iPhone into the 3.5mm AUX input and normal volumes I use on the head unit are between 16-20 with the iPhone's volume set to full volume. If your phone is already at full volume, then maybe it just has an abnormally low output.

As iChris said, mainstream brands will usually lock down the boot logo but most brands allow custom backgrounds. Some units do display the background screen while booting after the short brand splash screen. I know some Pioneer units do this. There's also custom firmware/hacks for certain...

Fixed to save others Googling :) Noise, vibration, and harshness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My voltage drop would have caused more power loss than 30-40cm of slightly smaller wire :dance:

I used stock wiring inside my VT doors with 200Wrms with no probs. I upgraded wiring from the amp (boot) to the crossovers (kick panels) then ran stock wiring the for about 30-40cm. Using this page: WIRE 1ft of 20ga would drop 2W from 200W at 4 ohm 2ft of 20ga would drop 4W from 200W at 4...

You put a lot of effort into that post :thumbsup: Buy what you can afford. If you want better replies, post more information about how much you have to spend, what music you listen to, what you are after from the stereo (nice and clear or booming loud to show off, etc).

I hadn't seen this one. That looks much better but you're stuck with having to use an Alpine unit, aren't you? I'd only seen this one.

That hideous thing Alpine is distributing? I'll just wait or go without a decent stereo!
