Ripspeed DVD

Hi, just bought one off Danr, and its in mint cond, but i have my sub and getting the RCA from my amp out, and my amp going to the front of the car...

With my old alpine unit, it only had 2 RCA ports, so i plugged it in that, and both sub and amp worked a treat.

Now this DVD player doesnt just have the red and black, it has Front L+R, Rear L+R, Aux L+R, Sub, Center.

Wondering which my RCA goes into, if i plug it in front, on volume 1 it is pretty fookin loud, same with rear, but rear it crackles, and the aux ones just dont play the sub or amped speakers...

Quick point mate, make sure that you pin the cage in properly. 4 of these have been nicked from mates cars now, one a few days back when her car was parked in town for all to see. No one seems to fix em in properly and cus theyre not face off all twocers know theyre thiefable

[smiith]

mine aint moving bud :P its stuck in well and truely now :)

Just need to work out how to get my amp going proply

plus i never park my car anywhere but home, and thats pretty out of the way, with 3 security ligths to put cocks off

[vts-yes]

if the amo is powering the sub then in the sub rcs. so u can turn just the sub up and down if you wish.

If its a multi channel amp, then you will need more than one rca lead.

The amp should have 2 or 3 rca inputs, one rear and one front, so obviously rear for rear, front for front, and then bridg whichever is left for the sub, unless the sub is active.

In which case, you need to run an rca from the rear out on the h.u to the input of the 6x9 amp, and rather than running a short rca from amp to sub, run a new length from the sub out on the head unit. This way you have control over all the speakers and sub.:)

there is a RCA in and RCA out on my sub... thats it... so sub goes out, and the sub is active... fli active.

There is only 1 sub RCA port on the HU and its brown, not 2 like there is for outs on the sub.

If i the RCA from the rear outs to the amped 6x9s, the make like a fuzzing noise, like when you have tv on a unknown channel.... but music is there, just that in background

Thats just a bad earth! Where is it earthed to?

[smiith]

behind the wing nuts on the rear lights, all paint scratched off :) never had a problem since october, and it only does it when they are plugged into the rear ports

[smiith]

oh, and still not answered about there been 1 sub port and 2 RCA leads

Mmm, that is a rubbish place to earth it to mate. I used to have mine there, but i moved it and it is much mch better. Best bet is to earth it under the seat mate. There is a small bolt which is just made for the job:y:

Not sure why it would only do it out the rear rca though...

So the amp works fine from the front pre out?

[Coonper]

oh, and still not answered about there been 1 sub port and 2 RCA leads

Not with you there mate?

You will only need one sub out, but you will have another 4 leads, 2 fronts and 2 rear pre outs

[smiith]

yeh, its just really loud, like volume 1 is loud, 2 is very, 3 is distortion... and it goes upto 30 lol, but with them unplugged, volume 12 is normal with normal speakers

[smiith]

Not with you there mate?

You will only need one sub out, but you will have another 4 leads, 2 fronts and 2 rear pre outs

Theres... Front Left, Front Right... Rear Left, Rear Right.. Sub(1 plug, not 2, where 2 RCA leads run from the sub...) and Aux Left, Aux Right

[Coonper]

yeh, its just really loud, like volume 1 is loud, 2 is very, 3 is distortion... and it goes upto 30 lol, but with them unplugged, volume 12 is normal with normal speakers

Sounds like the gain on the amp is set waaay too high...

What amp is it?

[smiith]

its called Artic, its a cheap one, but i needed 1000watts when i had 2 subs, but now i dont, i just run 6x9s with it, never had a problem before with it....with my alpine HU its was just normal, not touched the amp while chanign HU

[smiith]

il run out now, and move the earth and do what you said with RCA, see what hapens

[smiith]

sorted coonper mate! brilliant, ran the sub RCA to the front, and the amp from the rear and re-earthed... naighbours came out... "fookin hell smithy, can hear that over the surround sound, shut up

repped :y:

[Coonper]

No worries mate!

Glad it worked
