Hi,

i just installed my sound system....

when i turned up the to certain volume, front speaker doesn;t work...

my system has a JVC headunit with only 1 RCA preout, kenwood 4 ch 500W, front speaker is pioneer kelvar 6in slipt component, the rear speaker is Apline type S 6in.

since HU has only one RCA preout, i bought a Hi/Low converter for the front speaker

the problem is now, when i turn up volume to certain level, the front speaker stops working, the rear still work....

i have to turn off the HU, and turn down the volume, then the front speaker works again. Again when i turn volume up to certain level, front peaker stop...

what will be the problem???

Plz help.

Thx

First things first, dont install it yourself if you dont what you are doing.

Second you have a short somewhere it is as simple as that, sending your product into protection most likely the amplifier.

And you dont need a hi/lo level converter if you have one rca. All you need is a couple of splitters.

As above.. if you have a speaker-to-RCA type of converter to get a 2nd pair of RCA outputs.... don't bother =-]

My last setup (previous car) was easily done by buying two RCA splitters (10cm long) and splitting the RCA right at the amp. I didn't have any problems with interference or loss of voltage over the RCA's. It was just as if I had two sets of pre-outs. (except for having to balance front/rear via the amp)

Does it meant my Headunit do not have enough voltage for the Hi/Low convertor?

Umm.. no idea. I was just saying that if you *DO* use an RCA splitter to your 4-channel amp, you shouldn't have any problems with voltage over RCA.

If your setup wasn't working from the outset, it's worth trying this method. It'll only cost you $20-30 for the splitters and maybe an hour of your time.

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
