ok here's the low down,

just bought a 97 33, bought a brand new pioneer deck, wired it in with those loom thingies you get from autobahn, (sounds dodgy i know) but i had a home stereo speaker behind my seat to listen to because the 33 speakers were SHIT!

1 month passes.

no sound other than a small crack out of the speaker when i turn it on. then NOTHING at any volume.

does the 33 have a standard AMP thing in the boot?

is this hooked up through the standard stereo wiring from the console?

is the amp gone is the deck?

is the amp in the 33 (if there is one) is that f**ked?

cheers.

im pissed off coz the deck cost be around 4 hung.

check for shorts first. pull the unit and disconect the speaker wires. connect them one at a time with the unit powered when it stops playing you have isolated teh fault.

now the bad part:

if you have killed the output stage in it you have just done $150 worth of damage.

If you had a home stereo speaker connected it may be the incorrect impedance which causes amps to do very strange things or u have damaged the decks amp. u may be able to get under warranty if you play dumb. like the other guy said check for shorts on ur audio line

I dout you killed it, the output stage is usually (if not always) short circuit protected. The chips they use as amplifiers have short circuit, over current and over temperature protection. The main thing is either 2 or all 4 channels are amplified on the same chip. If one shorts the rest go down as well.

Home theater speakers are usually 8 or 4 ohms, car speakers are almost all 4 ohm. Using an 8 ohms speaker definitely won't kill it.

I'd be rechecking the loom, if you disconnect every line going to a speaker and then get a known working speaker and connect it up to one channel at a time you can rule out an amplifier fault if it works.

I'd say one of your home speakers has blown a voice coil and is shorting.

I dout it would be shorted at the back of the deck, unless your wiring is dodgy. Shorting is when the two wires that goto your speaker are well... shorted lol

Things that would do are blown voice coils (measures almost 0 ohms), worn wires shorting to the chassis and the two wires touching either behind the deck or at the speaker. If you can't find anything wrong, check that the speaker still works buy putting on it another stereo, if that channels is still the problem run new wires

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
