You will need to trace back from the fogs. Use a multimeter too to check its actually getting power

Check your earth

More than one speaker doing it or a specific one? Speaker popping on startup is normally a duff speaker (or a trapped wire) which is shorting to chassis but will only affect the channel it is connected to

Metal cases amps bolted directly to chassis or poor earth for the amp. Like I say poor earth on a non smped stereo generally doesn't affect it due to the aerial being earthed so unless you had disconnected it there would be no tell tale signs

Yes it should be fine then, the problem you have caused has in effect stopped the headunit from earthing the rca's. Like cutting a cable thats providing a house with electricity so it needs another path to supply electricity.

Sorry had to dash out The route cause of most ground loops is poor grounding. If an earth is not connected the item will look for a route with the least resistance. When an amp earth is poor mid/high speakers will automatically have a high pitched whine which is normaly matched in pitch to...

Yes, you will have d/c'd the earth with the RCA leads and power cable still connected. RCA acts as earth and blows pioneer unit. Only proper fix is repair, botch is to attach an earth to the RCA outer shell at the headunit connection (new earth)

There is a thread explaining all this just further down the page

Then yes more than likely an issue with your stereo. What you got? Pioneer?

No I'm referring to how you have fixed the amp down

Either amp issue, or earth issue, scrubbed paint away from bolt location? Not rusted? No water ingress?

Double post fail

You have a ground loop. Bolted your amp directly onto your seats or boot floor?

YouTube has plenty of videos to show you how and most multimeters have 3 pins for your 2 cables. You need to make sure it's in your amp hole- read your multimeter instructions though Using one of these is easier as you don't have to disconnect anything...

Shouldn't read more than 0.2A, most cars are around the 0.13 mark

Bloody iPhone ambling=amping also

If you are t going to be ambling then you are wasting £80 of your money. If you want to discuss products then email me. I'm not cluttering up the forum with sales discussion

Im not surprised your tweets have died to your 3 way speakers if you are still using the OEM tweeters also. Get a good quality set of comps upfront and then wire in the crossover, you can wire it in behind the headunit if you find it easier. Speaker connection from stereo>crossover>normal door...

a-pillar covers need to come off

Even cheaper ;) Can do the sub package for less too

Not possible, aftermarket stereos do not understand the Renault protocol so you need to buy adapters

Halfords minimum cost for stalks is £33 not "10-15" I can supply stalks at £29 for your vehicle which unlike theirs will be plug and play, 5 minutes no messing. Drop me a pm/email

I don't do any parts for them but I imagine I could build it. I can see if I can find the spec sheet

Not trying hard enough ;)

Yes they are available, drop me a pm/email if you wish to order, comes with a 2 year warranty

Re: Head unit not working, lights up and beeps but no music and nothing on display! H Its not for security, its just the EPROM chip they fit cant take cold weather, revised versions were made, especially after last years cold weather in Jan but yeh once its gone its goosed. And should have no...

has a mute, but you dont have to connect it provide its a decent kit which has iso connection, no t harness is needed

They started and stopped cos the signal was cack at the time in most areas. Even if you find a Sony unit with DAB it must have a cd changer port which is rare as rocking horse **** now with cd changers going out the window

Stereos at 50-60 quid will cover that. No need to go ott on spend if you don't want anything else

Hold 5 or 6 (can't remember which) and then it will accept
