Hey guys, my subs in my stereo system stopped working a few days ago. so i've looked for the usual wires which are loose etc but i cant find any, and my set up is so confusing, it just doesn't make sense to me. my set up in my old car was so much simpler. so i was just wondering if someone with some stereo knowledge could give me a hand, i will come to you of course and if it takes long (which i don’t think it will) i will be happy to work out a price with you.
i REALY need to fix this by wednesday morning as i am going away and i'm driving. so i'll prolly go insane if it doesn’t get fixed.
thanks heaps,
Mike

 

Check your ground and your remote wire.

 

yeah check to see if your amps even turning on.

 

the amp in on
if it was the ground, the amp wouldnt work would it?
i also have some other speakers to install, but i dont know enough about stereos to figure out my set up, its so werid.
is someone free tomorrow during the day to help me, and we can work out a price.
im running low on time and need someones help...thanks heaps
i wont be home until later on tonight, so if anyone can help i can reply then

is this stock system? what deck are you using? what amp? what subs? etc. post all info.

contact bunker, he needs some money he may help tommorow evening and hes in your area.

what were you doing the last time they worked? were you blaring it? or was it the next day they werent working? make sure your subs are on if your deck has the option to turn em on or off. did you remove the battery and reinstall it?

 

i'm using a kenwood cd player (quite an old one), an alpine amp, i think it was v1000 or something like that, and 2 10inch JL audio subs
last time they worked i was blarring it a little but not much more then usual. i think that it might have been the next day they didnt work, cus i didnt notice till then.
my deck doesnt have the option to turn the subs on or off, and i havent touched the battery lately.
any ideas?
thanks

 

is your amp mounted or flopping around? check all the wires going out to the subs, also check the rca cables going out of the deck and to the amp. you say the amp turns on so the fuse must be fine. find someone with another amp and pulg it in, that way you can rule out the amp being toast. i have a few amps here, but try those first as i have a few things to do today.

 

thanks buddy, i'll try them now...

 

i checked the wires and they seem to be fine
the amp is mounted. im really out of ideas.
is there someone that can help me tomorrow morning?

 

i may be free later on tonight you can swing by and we will hook up on of my amps to see if your amp is toast or not. but you will have to come to surrey.

 

that would be sweet!
the only thing is i finish at about 9:30 (in north van). but if thats fine with you i'll come down for sure. i need this asap as i am leaving for a holiday on tuesday afernoon, and i work pretty much all of the time till then. so if that ok with you, i'd love to come down
thanks

 

hey Roy, i'm going to work now, so i'll call you later on...

 

ill pm you my number and address.

 

we got it fixed, or atleast figured out. some toothless mongloid must have set up the sound system before. his deck had rca outputs but the gap toothed yokel used one of those converters used on stock decks......needless to say that unit was kaput.

that whole system was a wiring nightmare, lol.

woja will just have to go out and buy some rca cables

 

Hey thanks again for your help Roy, i really appreciate it!
now i will have even better sound then before with that extra speaker
