Security And Sound Fitted

hey guys just got a mate (who works in an install shop) to fit some sound system and security systems to my car...

few problems;

A- Since he has installed the security system on my R34 (simple immobiliser and central locking just for the time being til i get more money up) a red light is flashing on the dash constantly its only half illuminated so i cant really make out the word but it looks like the word "jag" or something??

B- I bought (what i thought) were very very good speakers... $450 Hertz splits for the fronts and $300ish Hertz rears running off a focal 400w 4ch amplifier also a Polk subwoofer and just a basic 250w clarion amplifier to run that.. my problem is that the speakers arent loud at all.. they sound like they have jus treble no bass at all and the bass (from the woofer) hits some notes and the car just goes crazy and then the next note will just be flat.... i expected more from this... he said i need to give time for the speakers to "bed" in so is this just my problem or does the amps neeed to be tinkered with??

Cheers

is your mate brett,scott,garth ,warren or alan?

before you ask questions on here how about going back to shop in question (if it was fitted there on the books) and explain you are not happy. yes I know who you are referring to and the shop in question. have seen a gry R34 sitting outside that shop a few times now. if that is you then I know the car in question. regarding the focal items: they DO need break in time.

as for the immobiliser - no idea. could tell you more if I saw it.

nah my car was done out of hours hasnt been to the shop at all, it wasnt done on the books and im not sure if i should say any names jus incase anyone gets in trouble..

Chris - if i brought it to your shop how much would you guys charge to just go over it and re-tune all the amps just to make sure everything is setup right? Also have a look at that red light i was referring to?

Crazy mofo - nah mate i havent tinkered with any of it... dont know much about amplifier settings etc so not really keen on doing that sorta stuff... spose ill give it a few weeks to bed in and see if im happier than...

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
