These I-POO trip things are notoriously noisey.... Either put up with it or find some way to hardwire it....

Oh dear, sounds like your getting stressed.... Reckon it's time to get a little more involved.... With engine running check the voltage reading across the battery terminals using a multi-meter, should register approx 14.4v.... Now measure the voltage across the amp terminals, (+ve & -ve)...

Then the guy on TA is sprouting crap.... A pre-out is just that, Pre-Amplified.... There are a number of issues which can cause what your experiencing; 1, Poor amplifier earth causing high resistance, (high resistance = voltage drop)... 2, Power Cable of incorrect rating, (too small causing...

Hi mate, For basic amp setting by ear check THIS THREAD, POST 3 , you may find other info helpful too???

Try it with remote supply from head unit disconnected, (use a short wire off the amps remote terminal to take a jump from the amp live terminal to imitate system switching on & off).... I think the issue is a simple incorrect wiring connection behind the head unit....Have you simply hard wired...

Didn't post because I don't know Exactly whats wrong.....But seems people are guessing now so I will have one:D First one----Car alarm runs through the stereo loom and new stereo has screwed the immobiliser circuit, (you don't state if you tried starting the car with the headunit on but the...

@ the OP....You already have all the info anyone can supply, (unless you can ask your mate exactly what he put where).... How can anyone assume to know how it was wired from a few blurred pics showing basically nothing.... Like I said previously, rip it all out and start again, this way you...

:lolup:post of the day:lolup:

old type newer fakra type dual fakra to Alpine As you can see it varies slightly from model & year of car, simply check out links, you may get lucky.... If only this was added to more posts lol

Here we go again:eek: I'm not an amp installing god, I'm not condescending either....I was merely pointing out flaws in your previous statements.... I assume the apology is aimed at the OP.... Unfortunately there are a large number of people frequenting forums such as this who believe...

For the novice... Typical cables; Inter-connects, RCA leads, Phono leads Line Output Converter; High level, (speaker), to Low Level, (Pre-out Plug)... With regards ^this^; Wrong way round... With regards ^this^; ????? The Amplifier Gain control should be set to match the head units out...

No mention of how, or where, the crossovers are mounted.... Did your JL components come with crossovers, or are the tweeters simply protected by a resistor??? The difference in sound quality between stock Renault speaker wiring and new heavier guage OFC would be minimal, (you wouldn't notice...

Re: Help Choesing Speakers! I just love it when someone requests help with rear speaker choice, I just sit back & wait for the inevitable bickering to start...lol... So many supposed SQ buffs dismiss rear speakers with a look similar to one achieved sucking on a lemon.... Rear speakers, when...

A set of £400 components mounted incorrectly in the doors could still be humbled by a set of £25 JBL 6x9s mounted/installed correctly in the same place.... I'm not saying 6x9s are ideal in all situations, they are ideal in a few though.... With regards being 'drowned' out by the sub/subs, who...

Indeed, the point I was making is, "You can't beat cone area"....Imagine how your Clio would sound with 6x9s mounted in the doors rather than 5 1/4" mids.... Like I said in my previous post, "6x9s shouldn't be slated as all bad when people continually mount them or drive them incorrectly"...

Some interesting comments regarding the top selling 6x9 speaker in this thread.... The simple fact is, a 6x9 installed correctly and powered correctly will out perform most other sizes of speaker.... You can't get away from that fact.... Consider Component speakers, most manufacturers will...

With regards running rear speakers.... If you want sound from all directions then go for it mate, you need to remember it's your system for your enjoyment, not anyone else's.... If running rear speakers, it's always wiser to use an external amplifier as this allows greater scope with regards...

With regards to what??? In my opinion, I would have to say it seems like a waste of money.... Obviously my opinion counts for nothing, until I have an idea of what your trying to achieve.... The above would sound a little gutless without the backing of a sub, the amp you have selected is only...

It's not a replica, the K&N panel filters give improved air flow & better/quicker throttle response whilst retaining the original airbox.... The advantage a full induction kit has is usually the added benefit of an unrestricted cold air feed taken from the front of the car, (this can also have...

Amp requires service/repair....

Hi mate, welcome to the forum.... It would seem cash is tight, quite common at the moment.... I would recommend you take time to actually get out and listen to some systems in other peoples cars, this will give you a basic idea of what you actually desire.... Once you have decided on the type...

Try your local Motorworld, JBL GT5 10" subs are £27 each, will easily match any of the items you've linked too sound quality wise, and beat them power handling wise.....

With regards dimming lights.... If you activate say the window, and your lights initially dim then become brighter whilst your window shuts, this would indicate a slow alternator regulator, if they stay dim until the window is closed, then this is simply down to the cars loom.... In general...

Probably nothing wrong with your battery that a good charging wouldn't sort out.... Take it to local Kwik-Fit or Motorworld & request a free Batt/Alt test, they have testing equipment that will diagnose any faults that may be present.... There are actually three questions you need answering...

Sorry mate, I don't agree with the above....Distortion is a direct result of signal 'clip'.... As long as the amps gain/input sensitivity is correctly set to match the head units pre-out voltage then the amp should play cleanly right upto full output....In this case though the sub would be...

A few pointers mate; 1, The amplifier is a refurb unit, (previously sold, used & returned as faulty)....These units do seem to have some reliability issues.... 2, The Pioneer sub is a 4ohm dvc, so as such can present a 2ohm or 8ohm load/impedance, (not really suitable for use with the Fli...

The symptoms you describe are indicative of a poorly earthed amplifier....Ground loop induced by amplifier earthing through two seperate return paths, (one is the amp earth, the second is the head unit earth via the RCA leads).... The amplifier should be earthed to the cars chassis, (boot...

This threads going round in circles mate.... If the two batteries are of similar type, age & capacity then simply connect them in 'parallel' as above sketch shows.....Just remember that if running system with engine OFF then both batteries will be supplying power.... If the two batteries are...

Dash light.....2 earths??? No indication of planned fusing??? Basic idea is sound....

Why to 'split-charge'.... 1, Playing system with engine OFF....Prevents the starter battery from becoming depleted by isolating each battery, in this case all ancillaries should draw power from the boot battery, (inc the head unit)..... 2, Using two different types of battery....If using a...
