Total failure?

[SlamDUNKmyJUNK]

Ok, Not ever sure what to say here, but, I have a friend who had someone install his system today (Xplod Amp and 10inch bazooka sub) and it has been extremely wierd ever since.

Here is the list of things that I just can't seem to find an answer for.

So, Sometimes the bass is going good (As good as that setup will do) and then it like, dies down a bit with out even changing the volume or nothing.

Also, for some reason, changing the BAL on his head unit make the bass get louder..

Now, the guy couldn't get the head unit out so he tapped into the rear speakers to make the connection or something. (He's very confusing)

And now, his set up just turned off completely.. He said he was driving, and then it just stopped working. The amp isn't even on anymore. Not sure of all the info.

Any help is great.

is it hooked to a Line out converter? that could be the reason it sounds louder on the fader.

check your ground, fuse, connection of the LOC, inputs at the amp, remote wire, RCAs...thats just the short list to start checking into

probably clipped those crappy things to death

x2. also, if the remote(from the amp) is connected to the cig lighter, check the fuse box by the steering wheel(where most fuse box in most cars are located in)

That happened to me... When i installed a system a while back i didnt know the stock Rear speaker cables on the HU. So everytime it got to a crtain level it would cut off and act funny. and i found out i put the wrong wire in the LOC so make sure the LOC is correct

People do it that way? In most cases, Wouldn't the Cig Lighter always be on, and the amp would always be on? I thought most cars are that way, But id figure people would be smart enough to use the Remote + on the deck, unless stock deck, Id find something to tap into on the Acc +.

why would e have to tap into the rear speakers? anyway, if i were you, i would take it all out and redo it myself. if you need any help or dont know how then just ask and we will help you out. with that little power, it is very simple to do. also does he have a stock HU or aftermarket?

rebuild ... correctly ...

My money is on one side being out of phase (assuming a line-out converter). The first time I hooked my stuff up, one side was out of phase (factory HU, line-out, and the wiring diagram for my car was wrong). On a few frequencies it sounded great, most of the time it was very quiet. Also, using balance to cut out one side will make it louder since it is in phase again. Try switching just one side, even if they both end up out of phase with the rest of the system, and see if the bass works then.

As for your power issue, just check connections and fuses.

The guy couldn't get behind the deck. Jokes right haha. Ya I would not bring it to him again. And the remote wire would basically not excise if he doesn't know how to get behind the deck. Right? I would take it all out and hope your radio works. Then install it correctly or take it some where else :/
