Got my audio gear (sub,amp,speakers) all professionally installed at AudioArt in the city about 2months ago (not cheap!). Since then, the right rear speaker has not worked (fixed again at Alberts Car Audio in freo at my expense) and now the whole right door has no sound coming from it. I can't take it back to AudioArt as they have closed down.... What do to without costing a fortune :unsure:

I'm sure alberts will fix it lol, but I've already spent a lot on audioart's install and im sure alberts wont be cheap either. Pretty sure speakers are working, this happened before i even sent it to audioart (work every now and then). Sounds like a loose connection so i suppose my best bet is to take the trim off...

I installed mine with a mate who used to work at Albert's, at his place over the weekend. Start by taking the trim off and looking for loose connections. Follow the wire.. if it's old wires, maybe something has worn the plastic somewhere and the wires are touching metal.. eh just look around.

I would try taking back to alberts if they will fix free as a first option

If someone knowledgable will help you out like Skyryan (well at least he thinks he is anyways :unsure:) use that option next

If you need a pro to have a look that wont charge you an arm and a leg and has pride in there work talk to Ardi on 0402 260 612

They do competition installs and will not leave you in the shit.

I've taken the trim off and its a bloody mess! AudioArt screwed me, their wires have tape bound round them in certain places and alot of screws missing. I'm going to leave the trim off as it is currently then I'll take it to albert's in the morning unless anyone NOR is nearby and I'd be willing to pay for someone to do it right or beers etc, whatever is required. We are at Mt. Claremont, phone number to call is 0431 985 155, Cheers.....

Edit: Albert's do charge me, as in first post.

Yep, they royally bummed you. Probably why they aren't around anymore, they changed the company name and address to avoid all the callbacks. :ninja:

But, audio gear is simple, so it wouldn't be hard to solve with basic know-how of trim and wires,

Thats what I thought but they charged me :D

Update: Where they are taped together, its just loose ends of wire :) . Going to solder the ends together and replace all the rusty screws :ninja:, if all else fails then will take it to Alberts.

did you show them the receipt and talk to the guy that did the install? I know alberts in os park would fix the prob if it was their fault. I would have thought alberts solder the wires :S

Hmmm. Pity I'm going away for the weekend, otherwise I'd come down and give you a hand. I've installed all my sound system, and it's really not that hard. Once you know the basics it's all good. Give it a go, and if you get stuck give me a call on 0431681965 and I'll try to help you out.

Good luck mate!! You get a much better sense of achievement when you do something yourself. That and it's cheaper :ninja:

Nono, Albert's didn't install it. AudioArt did, and a complete shit job at that (not cheap either). All the bits on the driver's door has been soldered and put back in place, worked for a few mins then stopped again. Guessing its the connection to the head unit which I'll bring to Alberts to do. They know I brought it to AudioArt to do but still charge =\

The Albert's I'm refering to is the Fremantle on btw, as for contacting the guy that did it, he has disappeared....

Basically what audioart did was put wires in, cut and connect them and put them together, cover the ends in tape and thats their job done.

Just don't want to imagine what they did with the other door and the sub+amp+stacker in the boot :ninja:

I recently emaild Freo alberts coz the alarm they installed in my car wasnt soldered at all plus meters upon meters of spare wiring just hidden under fuse box etc etc, problem is the guy who installed it is now the manager there...

make sure you go through and check the wiring if you take it there.

my 2 cents

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
