XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 26, 2014 I bought a new headunit after the old one fucked up (wouldnt turn on again) soldered all the electrical connections and there's no sound. There was sound from the old unit before it shat itself by why is there none coming from the new one? Can anyone help me out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 26, 2014 solder could be your problem! Never had that issue before, used solder on the old headunit and never had an issue till it stopped working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dougie77 789 Posted June 26, 2014 Are you sure that your speakers are working???? Are they running through a amp? Does the amp work? Maybe your new stereo doesnt like country music 1 steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 26, 2014 I do have an amp but there no inline fuse hooked up and theres no connection on the battery. Amp worked fine before i took the sub out and removed the inline fuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBS XE 160 Posted June 26, 2014 Make sure there's no shorts in your speaker wiring, the amp inside them turns off if there's anything wrong. 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve mcqueen 1,796 Posted June 26, 2014 Maybe your new stereo doesnt like country music Problem lies right here mark, its that dam Garth Brooks CD you have in it, Try one from Brad paisley im sure it will come good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trev Vaa 1,185 Posted June 27, 2014 quick and simple does headunit have power? yes/no is there power coming out of the headunit? yes/no have you checked to see if the back of the headunit has blown fuses? yes/no have you tried turning the mute button on and off? yes/no have you turned the volume up? yes/no has the amp got power? yes/no is power coming out of the amp? yes/no is power getting to the speakers? yes/no have you connected speaker DIRECTLY to the back of the headunit? yes/no should be simple, get a test light. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 27, 2014 Checked all the wiring and it was good, power at the speakers, etc. Turns out it was fucked so i went back to JBHIFI and got it swapped it over. I thought "fuck it" i'll pay the $80 bucks for the install, the bloke who does the stezza installs turns out to be one of Elliejanes mates Cheers for the install Seb 3 PH351, Outback Jack and Trev Vaa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 28, 2014 Hahaha you guys I checked for power at the speakers, double checked the wiring and the headunit was fried, fried electric's stink. My new Pioneer headunit seems to have better settings for subwoofer tunabilty 1 steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 28, 2014 well that was easy fixxed then. i bet you fucked it installing it but lol Fuck up you LOL That reminds me, when i first opened the box the packaging looked to be tampered with, i was abit sus about it first but i though "ahh fuck it" so i installed the headunit and no sound, It powered up fine but no sound. Seb also told me to use the XG or XH dash fasia mainly for a neater look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,920 Posted June 28, 2014 I had the same thing with my tool chest i bought from supercheap. After lifting the bastard out of the box ( which had been retaped) i started putting it together to find half the shit missing and a dent on the top. It had been returned and put back on the shelf. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ando81 2,949 Posted June 28, 2014 Jeez, about time Pioneer caught up with sub control. All my mates used to bang on about how good their Pioneer stereo gear was and I didn't agree cos they didn't have the adjusting features for sound quality and sub tuning like an Alpine or Jvc units had. I guess the ute will be rocking the tunes at the next b&s then hey Mark? 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,920 Posted June 29, 2014 I find Pioneer shit (My Opinion Only). I had 2 expensive pioneer amps to drive my subs and both of them shit themselves with various issues related to soldering and fractured connections. I ended up getting a cheap arsed Schneider amp and have had it for bout 7 years now without a hitch. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well at least im not the only one around here! Shits me when shops do that headunit not working? look at wife. take credit card from her. enjoy the noise. Thanks for the advice, I'll consider it as an option in the near future! When the Magic smoke comes out........... it won't work anymore........... Jack. Yep, reminds me when the gas switch burnt out in the XD Jeez, about time Pioneer caught up with sub control.

I guess the ute will be rocking the tunes at the next b&s then hey Mark? Fuckin oath mate! My old headunit (it was a pioneer) was shit with subwoofer tuning. I did manage to have somewhat an "ok tune. I'll be pumping the tunes at the next ball, Longy Seeders and Strippers ball is the next one i think. I find Pioneer shit (My Opinion Only). I had 2 expensive pioneer amps to drive my subs and both of them shit themselves with various issues related to soldering and fractured connections. I ended up getting a cheap arsed Schneider amp and have had it for bout 7 years now without a hitch. That reminds me, the old one (again it was a pioneer) was great but it started making funny noises and neally everytime you go over railway tracks, bumps in the road or drive on shitty gravel roads it would cut out. In the end it wouldnt turn on again after i used the battery in another vehicle, i have a feeling that its got broken solder joints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAWDEAL 222 Posted July 1, 2014 To properly tune the sub u defintly need a seperate rca out for it, and lpf / hpf and a subsonic filter! I suppose you could get away with just 2 rca outs with a ute , as you would prolly use just the rear ??
