will you notice any deferents between a deck with a 95 db signal to noise ratio or a deck with a 105 db. With 2 volt out puts and also the same ? with 4 v out

i cant finde yout topic about this i looked at your topis thing on your profile. What is aux + how do you shut it off? is there a little switch on the side of the case i did not notice 1 when i put it in but i was not looking eather or is it in the menu i have not sean anything like it in the menu?

i just put in a used alpine cda- something it has an ipod cord but i cant get it to work. On the very right side of the deck there is a power light under that a tittle button and a light that say ipod when you hook up the ipod that light should light up right and to use your i pod you pick ipod from the source menu right ? But the ipod light dont come on and there is no ipod on the source menu. any clue what my problem is think it's the deck or the cord? and i know its not the ipod because it works fine with everything els

This same exact thing happened to me, but it was a pioneer. I'm guessing it is probably the same problem, some type of internal fuse that was fried when current tried to go through the rcas from your power terminals. This may be the same case for the original poster, the rca might have touched something while you were moving things around. Try grounding the rcas. I did this, it was a temporary fix until I got a new h/u, but it did work. I bought a few rca couplers from radioshack (like these Male Female , hopefully you can find a cheaper place. I didn't want to modify my rca's directly, but you can if you want. I also picked up some small inline fuses, so if it happened again my h/u wouldn't fry. I soldered a wire from the outer part of the rca to the fuse holder. You could then solder on another wire and attach a ring terminal and ground it (I did it to the h/u chassis). Then I just plugged the couplers in the back of the h/u, then the rcas into the couplers. Voila, the noise disappeared. There is always the option of buying a new unit as well if this doesn't work or whatever. I hope this helps!ya well if thats the case a bad fuse iv got a alpine i will wire it up tomarow and C what happens. did you guys get a thump when you hit a button on your deck Yeah I would get a thump every now and then, do you have an MP3 player to hook up directly to your amp to test it like I did? ya that was my problem i grounded the rca and it went away i was surprised that both the pioneer decks i tried both had the same problem iv ben using pioneers for years and i have never even heard of that pico fuse and i have never had a problem. Hooked up my alpine and NO more NOISE SWeeT thanks for the help fellas

No. I believe the ones in the deck are rated for .5 amps and just doing a quick search you can find ones rated up to 30 amps. what would make it blow

ummm ill try grounding the rca's but what are the odes that both decks are bad. What would cause that fuse to blow? thanks for the info

well i toke my deck out the other day and when i put it back in iv got this nasty buzz like real nasty and it will change with engine rpm and there is also a bit of "engine wine" but the buzz is much louder and the really weired thing is if i change source or change channel or if i turn the volume from 0 to1 or from 1 to 0 i get a nasty thump kinda like a turn on thump but louder. I checked my amps grounds and they seam to be fine i was thinking maybe its my deck's grounds or maybe i broke a ground strap somewhere in the car im going to try changing them tomorrow my day off. And i also tried a different deck and it does the same thing but they are both pioneers and i heard something about a pico fuse for the rca's but what are the odes they are both bad. I put the system in over a year ago and have had no noise problems whatsoever any 1 ever heard of i problem like this with the thump when you hit a button on your deck ??

ummm iv got a noise problem my self but its a problem i never had before i put the system in over a year ago never had any noise at all. I pulled my deck out the other day and when i put it back in i had this nasty buzz that would change with engine rpm and you could here a bit of engine "wine" also but the buzz is much louder but what is really weired if i change source or change channel i get a thump or if i turn the volume from 1 to 0 i get a thump or from 0 to1 and it comes form both my sub amp and mids amp. My amps grounds are well made and tight and i tried a different deck and they both do the same thing but they are both pioneer's what is it about pioneer that would cause a noise problem? The only thing i can think of is my decks ground or maybe i broke a ground strap some where im going to run a new ground for my H/U and c if that does it

can someone suggest an amp to run 2 L5 12's dual 2 ohm in ported box right now they are running of a RF t501bd but they need way more power any suggestions

really they are not 1 ohm stable that kinda sucks where you useing it to run an fi Yeah a kicker zx1000.1 is 2 ohms stable (dont worry about what birth sheets say because if you try and run it at that power you will run into clipping (plus they just test one amp out of every 20 or 50 or so and write that number down as all amps birth sheet results). Actually it doesnt suck regardless the company brand your running with it because of its 2 ohm final load, what matters is the voice coil configuration that you have? I wouldnt buy a kicker amp either since they have set SubSonic Filters and you cant adjust them which will require you to tune your enclosure around the sub sonic filter instead of your liking. so jay Cee what would you sagest to run 2 L5 12's dual 2 ohm

any 1 know where i can fined refurb RF preferably from a dealer

really they are not 1 ohm stable that kinda sucks where you useing it to run an fi

has any 1 Sean a berth sheet from a zx1000.1 what was its top rms and @ how many volt's. And are they 1ohm stable

thats all you need to do and it should be disconnected form the amp right Do not have it connected to the amp Sweet thanks guys
