Category: Car Audio Installation Forum

Good evening Motor-Talk Community, I picked out a car radio on Amazon, which I like to buy and install in my Peugeot 307 140ps 2.0 year 2005The radio:http://www.amazon.de/…/ref=asc_df_B00ICIR3MA27742862?…My questions are now, 1. Is the installation in my Peugeot even possible? I’ve already read a lot that the on-board computer is no longer functional, or that the engine no longer starts with a single small error. what exactly is it?2. What do I need to install the radio?3. What information can my on-board computer display?4. Can I install my standard car radio at any time and use the full functions of the on-board computer? Thank you in advance With friendly greetings Jinko

Hello yesterday I got most of my equipment ready. Only some wood covering for my active sub in the trunk is missing. So far I have: -case room insulated -lines laid for active sub to the trunk -new radio built Incoming should be: -front doors damming -speakers in front exchange for new -better boot lighting I just want to offer my help here. I made almost 3 days around until everything was halfway finished. Think that I can give one or other tips or even help (come from the room Osnabrück / Vechta). Overall I have spent up to now approx. 450- 500 € and I want to think that it is beginner class. So consider beforehand whether you want to do it at all If one reads this and has a guide for the spare wheel dump for the wood expansion, always with it With friendly greetings Simon Wellmann

Hello first of all, wanted to install a bass box in my sister’s corsa today! As far as so good all cables were still available from the previous owner, so everything was connected FACHGErecht and ignition. It ran until I wanted to increase the level further and then the Diagnostic light turned on and no matter what I did did not. So with the phase tester everything was under scrutiny and Batteriesplus was there; Radioplus was there and Body Minus too. Then I had to attach that to the power amplifier on each plug (+/-) was only minus on it… I am finished with my Latin….. Verm. All fuses renewed Hope you can help me

Hey guys, hope you can bring light into the dark. I have A3 8L Bj. 99 with Bose equipment Since recently my boxes have been virtually out. Radio is still active/can be operated. Nothing comes from the boxes. Sub/ power stage (not sure what) [left in the trunk behind the cover] give a permanent clapping again similar to the flasher noise, I turn on the volume button changes for the moment of turning the interval. For the first time it was Saturday. Yesterday, too. Together with both rides that was up to a stop with ignition, the radio was not on. Today, however, he also didn’t want to work right after the start. Yesterday evening, when I turned it off, it worked without any problems. Currently, I can neither reproduce nor fix the problem, you hope you have a solution ready. If it helps, I can also try to record the noise. Thanks already!

Hello to each other! I have a Caddy Maxi with Radio-Navi RNS 315. Since I consider the sound to be quite worthy of improvement, I would like to connect an external power amplifier. My questions: 1. Does the RNS 315 Cinch outputs? Lt. of the few photos that I could ergoogle in the internet, there is no Cinch port available, but it is always written that an external power amplifier can be connected. Does anyone have any experience there? 2. If an external power amplifier is connected, then the internal power amplifier is muted, or can you use the existing speakers? I would like to run the front speakers directly over the RNS 315 and install a small subwoofer with two satellite boxes in the rear. For hints already a thousand thanks! Langelotte

In my 15-year-old Audi A4 B6 (without factory active system) I installed Helix E 62C in the front doors by a car audio specialist. Connected directly to an Alpine CDE-178BT and the rear serial loudspeakers from Audi should for the time being run as a “space filler” (by fader a little quieter). Cables were only made new in the door, so from the turnout to loudspeakers – the previous (1mm) the fitter has measured and should be OK. The new Helix does not want to sound so right, it lacks depth, pressure and space; especially compared to the old ones. Could be that the Helix (always 91dB 1W/1m) are more efficient than the standard door speakers (?), but then would be just less volume and pressure out to h Olen… I put everything on linear/flat now and for the test the separation frequency to 63Hz (with both circumcised), the bass nevertheless comes deeper and some more powerful/cracker from the old 0815 speakers?! The Helix sound up to approx. 800Hz extremely “thin” and also not viiiiel clearer. As if the whole was overmolded or would run with twisted phase. Polishing of course tested. Here a name, whereby it sounds even worse in “Live” – the Aufna me was made in the direction of the new speaker (except closer to the microphone); when changing front/back with the fader one can clearly hear what I mean (Upper MT and the high sound are a bit too intrusive because of the position of the microphone):https://youtu.be/SdEDj9sfXWI

Hello dear MT community, I hope you can help me with my problem with tips and advice. Before moving it is about my car system. To my system: I have a power amplifier (VRX). On this power amplifier hang two loudspeakers (both JBL) and two subwoofers(one pulse and the other JBL MS-12SD2). Everything is installed, connected and also works. It also sounds pretty good… but I’m still not quite satisfied, because I would like to know how to use any device (Su b and speaker) could regulate individually. Because a change in the setting (for example when I turn up the bass, both at the power stage and on the radio) always changes all the devices simultaneously. Besides, I also could not solve the problem that my subwoofers not only play the deep tones (bass), but also the whole song actually, like e.g. the vocals. They advised me to buy a subwoofer frequency switch and build it into the chinch line, which I but it just made my entire system weaker and did not solve my subwoofer problem (no matter on which frequency). Could you help me with my problem? If I have not explained anything precisely enough or you still lack information to answer my questions, just write and I try to answer it as soon as possible. Thanks in advance already, look forward to your reply. MFG Pirow

I want to put a USB car socket in the Lee room below between the steering wheel and the A-pillar and connect it to a flat fuse adapter for voltage absorption. Before I buy the two parts, I wanted to know how to get out the easiest way, how to put the fuse in. Before I buy the two parts, borrow a soldering iron or so cable quench connector and possibly a voltmeter. I want to be able to plug in my Navi and the K abel then to lay at the edge up to the disc before to the Navi. Ten years ago I had to deal with electrical engineering and soldered.

Servus! I have a rather rare question (seen at least a few threads about Car-Hifi in connection with this car) And I would like to add an entry-level sound system to my W123 (Limousine). Price limit would be at about 300-400€, if there is more money that is much better, please suggest that too. I am an absolute newcomer in this field and wanted to get advice here first. If there is a sub in the price it would be all first cream, but I need a find another radio (the built-in radio from anno is not to be used at the time I think ) Also I would have to arrange this so that the components are installed invisibly (H-approval), I thought about radio in the glove compartment etc; to be necessary I just have to install the original radio before every TÜV visit again. I look forward to your answers, LG Carlo

I always thought that Koax loudspeakers had an internal turnout that separates heights from others. Now I had to find out (unfortunately only after the installation) that 2 fat capacitors were present with the speakers. Wouldn’t have thought that with Koax Lautaprecher something has to be switched between, I thought, they are “internal” already separated, with 2 ways. Have these in the front of my G2 in the dashboard! What do I do now? Build between or not? Have the jbl in the Dashboard, and 4 others each in the doors (2 x Pioneer 13s and 16s). Without switches and everything.
