im gonna leave stereo's to you mad scientist's pulling stuff apart to make stuff for other stuff. you know there's a perfectly good stereo system supplied from the factory under all that mess

the xbox did work anymore and the factory system sucked

Why do that? If its ran through the remote wire through the deck when you turn the deck off it will also turn anything hooked up through that remote wire and through the RCA outputs off.

cavalierkid · 07-25-2007, 07:08 PM

but the nice thing about having it ran through a switch is you can listen to music with out the subs on when you dont want the bass

Jncominco2 · 07-25-2007, 07:15 PM

thats why you have settings on your deck
or at least i do
i can just turn the subs off...

B14SER · 07-25-2007, 07:28 PM

there is the case where the remote output of the radio(cd player or ect.) can also be faulty and u need to check for 10 to 12 volts on the remote wire when car is off and KEY REMOVED. Just in case you didn't know, the remote wire is blue on the back of the radio.

cavalierkid · 07-25-2007, 10:52 PM

mine doesnt have a thing to turn the subs off either did my DUAL but that was cheap

but i just got the radio maybe it does but the wire is already ran through a switch

B14SER · 07-25-2007, 11:34 PM

just about all decks today have 1 remote power wire if not 2 or 3. make sher of the wiring on the radio, if you cant tell me the make and model # of it and i will get you a wiring diagram. so you can undo the switch and hook it up correctly. mike

B14SER · 07-25-2007, 11:35 PM

plus you can also just cut the bass down if you don't have sub. controls.

whitedragon551 · 07-26-2007, 07:40 AM

Exactly, set the fade to the front if you dont want to here the subs. I also have settings on my deck to turn off the subs. And whats the point of having them if you cant use them.

cavalierkid · 07-26-2007, 12:04 PM

i can use them when ever i want

but the gf doesnt like the bass so i have to be able to turn it off

cavalierkid · 07-26-2007, 12:04 PM

and i cant fade to the front because the speakers in the back are 100 times better than the front

whitedragon551 · 07-26-2007, 02:01 PM

Get better front speakers and put them on an amp.

B14SER · 07-26-2007, 09:12 PM

exactly, get a 4 ch. amp just for your 4 cabin spks. and it will rock louder and less distortion.

ButcherRacing · 07-27-2007, 07:19 AM

I miss my old 4 ch amp and speakers...and head unit and everything
