Hi Everyone
Having a massive issue with my VT commo sounds system
Ill start with what i have installed
Pioneer DEH6900 Headunit
2 * Alpine Type S Subs
1 * Alpine PDX 1.600 Amp (monoblock)
4 * Cadence Door Speakers (xs652)
1 * 4ch Cadence Xenith Amp (xa 175.4)
The recent addition to the system were the door speakers (xs652) and cadence amp.
Everything else appears to be in working order - Subs / Alpine Amp / Pioneer Head Unit
Purchases a an 8gu wiring kit for the Cadence Amp. Also purchased Stinger RCAs.
I am 100% sure on my wiring, and have had a few ppl cluey with it, look at it and given it the all clear! (grounding is all spot on)
The ISSUE:
No sound coming through the door speakers. Initially I had sound, for all of 45 mins
What i have tried:
- checked fuses in the amp, and fuses on the head unit, and power cable (near battery terminal), and all ok
-Checked door speakers, using a AA Battery and lining up the positive and negative sings on the battery, and got speaking popping - which indicates to me, speakers and cabling are ok.
-Took the head unit to an audio shop and got them to chuck it on the bench. They gave me the all clear, and told me all the outputs appear to be working.
-checked the RCA Cables and they are too, working
-this is the 2nd amp i have got from JB (the first being a ORION Cobalt 6004) ... so i highly doubt its the amp
-i also checked the remote cable thinking that the remote cable may not be capable of sending enough signal to both amps, so i detached the sub amp, and it still didnt work
- I took my car to JB quickly, and the bloke tested all my power cables and ground using a voltimeter, and that also was in working order --> his words "mate, a car audio is a very very simple thing! u must be missing something"
Anyways, i really need some ideas ... as i've been driving for a 2 weeks without any sounds except BASS!, and the earliest appt i can get with JB is Jan 12.
Thanks in advance guys!
