hey guys

I have a pioneer head deck bought around 4 years ago... still good enuf to do everythin so I havent changed it..

I juz wanted to know if anyone knows anythin about the LOUD function on them...

i started using it few years ago and my amp at the time shat itself after 2 days (shitty BOSS 4 channel)...

I've got a mono block alpine running my subs now (heaps heaps betta than boss).... juz wanted to know if you guys think i shud try using it again..

I dont even know how it works but it just boosts the sound like crazy... treble and bass both go mental..

any thoughts?

Don't bother. If you stereo isn't good enough for you without it on then upgrade. All loud does is increase the load on the speakers which means you have more chance of doing damage. It is the same as putting any of the equalizer presets on. If you need it on to sound good upgrade. Just my two cents :down:

My old pioneer deck had 3 levels of 'loud', i found my music sounded best on the middle level. This sounded better than if i had loud off, and turned the volume up more - my belief was that worked like an equiliser. I dont think its going to blow your amp up!

Equilisers are needed on the best sound systems - to tweak the frequency response. Just because you choose pop or rock instead of flat, doesnt mean you have a shit sound system.

trav,

personal preference. I have a 32band on mine that is barely touched.

in regard to the loudness button, leave it off. places additional strain on things as you already know.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
