Ballen194 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I just got the eqs746 eq and the blue lights on it dim with the beat of the deck. Amps are off. Just cd player playing music to speakers. Bass on deck is at 0. Car started or not still dims those lights. Big 3 is done. I have 2 shuriken batteries. Bt100 under the hood and bt120 in the back so trust me its no voltage drop issue. Dash or headlights don't dim even with subs on. Just this eq. I ran the remote wire to deck remote, the power I ran a seperate wire straight to the front batter to see if itd stop the dimming (it didn't) and ground is to frame in dash (seperate from anything else) anyone else got this problem? Or is it a problem at all, is it normal operation to dim like that?

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 How bad is it dimming? Mine had that problem until I threw another battery in the back. Mine is wired up directly with the radio. Power from EQ to the power on H/U. Remote to remote, ground to ground. No problems with it dimming at all anymore.

Ballen194 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Is the eq grounded well? I'd say so but that's the only thing I can think of that would cause this. Ill pull it all out again and give it a different ground. Quote 98 Isuzu Rodeo Pioneer Deh-6300ub SUBS*Upcoming* SSA Xcon 18 4th order AMP Banda 3500 Mids/Highs Pioneer EQ Clarion EQS746 ETC.

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yea, check the ground..... Run it off of a known ground like the radio if it's easy to splice into. If not, get some sandpaper and sand down a metal piece and mount it there.

If not, get some sandpaper and sand down a metal piece and mount it there. Nope. Ran it to every ground possible. Even ran it directly to the battery. Still dimming. I found the culprit. It's the remote. I put it directly on my power wire and no dimming what so ever. I guess that remote is dropping power and causing it to act like its going I shut off for split seconds.

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Gotcha. Just run the remote from the EQ to an accessory in the fuse box. Make sure it's an accessory that turns on when you turn the key to the "acc" or "on" position.

Ballen194 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Problem was for some reason the remote wire was only sending out almost exactly 12 volts from the headunit an would fluctuate with the beat causing my eq to dim with the beat. Solution was route a wire directly from front battery to a toggle switch and run the amplifier and the eqs remote wire to the toggle and no more dimming at all. Yes it now means that I have to physically turn my eq and amp on via toggle but this seems to be my best, cheapest solution to cure that low voltage remote wire from my headunit. Thanks for your input guys Quote 98 Isuzu Rodeo Pioneer Deh-6300ub SUBS*Upcoming* SSA Xcon 18 4th order AMP Banda 3500 Mids/Highs Pioneer EQ Clarion EQS746 ETC.
