Just installed my mates system for him, sub 6x9's and head unit. Didnt notice it before I put the amp and sub in but when we took it for a "fully sik test cruise" every 10 seconds or so the sound cuts out for a split second, the song keeps going but just for the split second there is nothing, no idea what could be causing it ... I would give you specs of the system but all I know is he has my old JBL GTO400 600watt amp and a 12 inch Pioneer sub. dont remember the model of the deck or anything, so anyone shed some light on this for me

cheers

Sam

12 inch pioneer amp??? lol

Whats the rating for the sub?? maybe your amp is playing up on ya... might be cutting out coz of hign voltage or bad signal...

The problem is most likely the amp im guessing. Are all the speakers cutting out or just the sub??

If it is all then the amp is your culprit. I suggest temporarily fitting another amp to test and see...

If all the speakers are hooked up to the amp try to plug some directly into the HU.

If all speakers/woofers cut out-

Check all the wires to each speaker/driver. If they short it will cut-out from the HU.

If it's just speakers connected to the amp that cut out-

Make sure your groundwire isn't jumping around and it's in securely attached. Also make sure it's the same guage as your power cable.

Make sure your 'remote" (usually blue) is connected properly and getting current. If it's falling out or jumping around your amp might be being told the HU is off.

Also - if your HU lights cut out (ie. the power to your HU cuts out as well) then you may not have enough current to your HU in which case it's the incorrect power cable you're hooked into or ground wire is lose.

Other than that if all your speakers are hooked up to the amp and you can't be bothered hooking up some speakers to the HU I would put the amp in the car where you can keep an eye on the light and see if it's cutting out.

Hope that helps. Let us know how it goes.

Well if only the sub is hooked up to the amp and yet all other speakers (I'm assuming they'd be then hooked up to the HU) are cutting out then theres no reason to think it's the sub thats busted.

If all the speakers cut out, but the sub stays on (even though the driver cuts out) AND the head unit stays on I'd find that quite strange.

I would say it's quite strange if the HU stays on but doesn't produce any output. I wonder if it's possible the current is dropping enough for the HU to be unable to produce output but not enough for it to turn off. I've never seen that happen and don't know if it's possible. When your mate gets back see if it happens above a certain volume. This might give you a clue to this fact.

Good luck - let us know how it goes slash when he gets back.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
