S15_Silvia Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hello all. I've got a JVC Arsenal KD-AHD69, as seen in my sig. I bought if off Crutchfield, who gave me a 3-year warranty since it was from their 'Signature' site. Anyway, I came home from college to see that it has issues. While playing any music via AM/FM/CD/USB, the speakers emit this harsh, high-pitch static noise that goes with the music (isn't constant). On top of that, the passenger rear speaker outputs 1% of the sound it should, and when adjusting volume, the right side speakers change faster than the left side. I pulled out the deck, and took a DMM to the speaker wires at the dash- each reads 4ohms. I also pulled out the rear passenger speaker (the particularly weak sounding one) and hooked it up to another source. Sounds perfect. I really think this deck is toast- but want to verify here.

S15_Silvia Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Bump. Had it repaired at an authorized service center near me. Receipt said they re-soldered some internals, dusted off the inside, and that I should check my installation. I have a fully soldered harness I made up for this deck when I installed it, and I made sure to run brand-new Knu wire at the time. SAME shit happens, including the passenger rear getting maybe 1% of its signal. What the hell?

S15_Silvia Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Interesting twist... took out the deck, rigged it up on an 8A 12V supply I have, with an old JBL 5x7 on the passenger rear channel (one that's quiet as hell in the car) Sounds perfect. No buzz, static, whatever- and the signal is strong. SO, the problem might NOT lie in the deck or harness at all- are the speakers somehow all blown to hell?

S15_Silvia Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 The conclusion: I decided to see what was up with the wire going to the speaker getting very little signal. For shits and giggles, I hooked up the 12v supply to the speaker end, and went up front to check the voltage at the dash. Nothing. Walked around back, and the supply is ticking and refusing to start, which it does when there is a short- interesting. So today ended up with pulling off trim panels to find the short, cutting the wire, soldering extensions in, and re-routing up a roomier pillar in the car. All good!
