No Audio

[wados]

hey

just wondering if someone can help me out.

I installed new front splits and a sub and amp last night, now everything went fine till this morning when the front speakers were not working so I unplugged the RCAs and as soon as I did this I lost all sound (the back speakers are still hooked up to the factory sound). and I cant get it to work ive tried everything but it still is showing up on the display radio stations and cds, it is like the hu is on mute.

Any help would be great ( and no the volume is not down on zero ), the only other thing is there is a nokia car kit hooked up to the audio system and maybe that muted the sound but I have disconnected it now.

oh and its basic sound.

thanks wade

have you been playing with the fader control? just make sure its set to the center position.

If you turn the volume up to 35 can you hear any noise at all from the speakers? even with the cd on pause you should hear a kind of hiss noise when you turn the volume flat out.

If there is no noise at all when on 35 then either the speaker wire plug under the ICC has come out or there is some other problem in the wiring between the ICC and speakers. Its also possable that the internal amp in the ICC has died.

If you can hear the hiss noise from turning the volume to full but cant hear the radio or cd then its a internal problem with the ICC. The fact that you have recently conected up new amps would suggest to me that you may have done something during the install that the ICC didnt like or even just knocked a plug so now your getting a problem when it was ok just after you installed the amps.

I hope this helps

Don't know if this helps , but have you tried using other car speakers. I had the exact problem - went to an audio guy, he said one speaker had a short thus effecting the whole sysytem (stock speakers and deck). I just bought a new set of speakers.

[wados]

no I returned it back to stock form and still nothing so im not sure what is going on

there under the ICC.

Did you take the ICC out when you did your install of the amp?

and on that amp install, where did you get the signal from?

[wados]

yeah had a look under icc all is fine just wasnt sure if that is where you ment.

no didnt take icc out for the install

the rear speakers is where I got the signal from

the only other thing I can think of is the mobile phone mute has been tripped and wont go back to normal as I have a nokia kit hooked up, either that or the ICC is stuffed

that's easy to tell. when the car kit has control the screen changes to let you know. Im not sure what the green screen ICC says when the car kit is active but it may say "media".

Im thinking that the likely cause of your problem is in a wiring short where you grabed your signal from. Just make sure that no bare wires are touching together around the section where you cut into them for the LLC.

If you have a short the ICC will detect the problem and shut down the output stage to protect itself. A dead short can also be caused by a dead speaker. You can use a multi meter set on the ohms scale to check your speakers. They should read 3.5 - 4.5 ohms when there not plugged in to the wiring loom.

will test them tomorrow and let you know thanks for your help
