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.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
