I've got a 1992 Toyota Sera with the factory SLSS system (Super Live Surround Sound). This wasn't true surround, but a DSP system with 10 speakers - Front cone x 2 (10cm, IIRC), Front Tweeter x 2, Centre Speaker (10cm again, I think), rear cones and tweeters in a tube on the parcel shelf which could be rotated to reflect off the rear window or aim directly into the car, and a rear subwoofer...

Expletive hidden OK how is this set up - what does it contain - it sounds pretty poor to me so I am wondering what to upgrade

I have an old Pioneer KEH-8080B radio cassette that I am trying to fit to my motorcycle. The problem is the wiring to the speakers. I have connected all the power OK but have only got green, green with black tracer, grey, grey with black tracer to connect to four speakers. I believe the grey is the front left and green is the front right. Where do I connect the other terminal on the speaker?

Maybe of interest. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5801882143 Best regards.

I purchased used Panasonic CQ-C1110AN from eBay, which was replacement for my old Blaupunkt CAR 300 (Astra). The Panasonic unit was functioning great while outside of car's panel. However, once I installed it, it just stopped working. Even thought wires were insulated and not touching I concluded that I must have done something wrong to burn the unit. Hence, in despair I installed back my...

Hi all, I have a couple more questions about my Sony MDX-7900R (mini-disc unit)... 1. On the back there is two phono sockets (Left & Right) labelled as "BUS AUDIO IN". The installation diagram shows these going to a CD / MD changer. However, I dont have a changer but I do have an iPOD... Could I plug my iPOD directly into the "BUS AUDIO IN" and then somehow select "CD changer" on the head...

Hi, I got to use a friend's iPod last weekend and suddenly realise it's what I need. I travel a lot in my car and abroad, it would be ideal to carry my music. I am still ensure what to get for my requirement 1- I would like to find some skin/cases to protect it, and a craddle/holder that are compatible so that I do not have to take the ipod outside of its case everytime I want to copy music...

Yes, the Pioneer has MP3, but Naks have good sound quality. But Naks have reliability issues, but Pioneers need an additional box to enable AUX in, while it is straight standard on the Nakamichi. Also Pioneer is ISO, while the NAK would need wiring. It is going into a Saab 900 convertable of 1992 vintage, so a classic car shape, if not yet actually classic (the design was fist used in the...

Hi all, Im new to this group so hope I arent asking an already asked question, or got in the wrong group... I have a Sony 7900R Mini-Disc unit and want to connect the mute lead to my Nokia Phone Car kit. The car kit has a single mute lead (+12V during no call, 0V during a call).

I have a Kenwood KFCW-300S Sub that I am connecting to a SPLX SPLA350 Amp using an Autoleads PC4-20 wiring kit. The wiring kit comes with a 15, 20 and 30 Amp Fuse, should I use the 30, 20 or 10 Amp fuse for the amp live from the car battery?

I think I know the answer to this question (having looked the the groups' archive) but I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't ask. We have an old Sony CDX-51 10 CD Changer in our 1999 Golf, run by a Sony XR-CA400 HU. After a year or so it stopped reading CD-Rs that I had written, despite using lots of different types of disks (and 2 different CD writers). It played bought CDs okay but...

Got a Sony MEX-1HD in a 2003 Audi A4 Quattro... I'm running the front channels plus sub from a Sony XM-4060 amplifier. Rears are running off the Audi active speaker system. However, the gain of the rear amplifier is quite a bit lower than the "standard" gain, whatever that happens to be. (I normally set the gain so the level is the same as using the head unit's onboard amp.) Now I've seen...

Hi, I have just got one of these head units and am very pleased with it. I am a little confused about something though. Can anyone else who has one also confirm how you chose between 'user' and 'factory set' EQ settings ? When I press menu and go to 'easy menu' and select 'factory's EQ', sometimes I get the factory installed ones ( rock, pop, jazz etc ) if I

I have a DEH-P4300R with CPX-P670 changer. According to the manual, the 4300 can only control 1 external unit at a time. I also have the CD-RB20 and CD-VC60 connected through the bus connector with no problem. However, I wouldn't mind having the ipod interface connected as well. I've been told that with having the CD changer, it is not recommended having the ipod interface because the head...
