Alpine Iva-w505 Help


Recommended Posts

juse recently bought an alpine w505. it was installed properly. i also installed the brake bypass. the problem im having is im not getting any sound out of the door speakers unless i turn the volume all the way up, but you can barely hear it. im thinking that the internal amp is bad. please help!

Double check the wiring. The vehicle doesn't have a factory amp does it? Lastly, are the speakers any good? ;)

Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks'

i didnt ask what it said on it, i asked what position it was in. the eq setting turns on the 3 way electronic crossover (active set up) and turns off the internal amp at the same time. Being you never stated if your front speakers are amplified or running off headunit power, that switch can cause you to not have crap unless your at max volume if they are running off the head....

x2....if it's not that, then it's probably a couple of the speaker wires getting squished together back behind the head unit when its fully seated in the cage or you have a speaker terminal grounding out (if you replaced the stockers, that is). Have you tried to see if it happens with the head out of the dash but still hooked up?

A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.
