Volume goes Up when i Rev
how come when i rev higher or stay above a certain rpm the volume of my music gets louder
i have an aftermarked Pioneer deck on there, tis really annoying
the only thing i can think of is as a security feature to not scare me of the sound the engine is making
i am unaware though :\

A lot of cars have a system that raises the volume of the stereo based on the speed of the car because as you go faster, wind/road/engine noise increases and you usually need to turn up the radio.
Never heard of it in an aftermarket head unit before though...

Thats what I thought it would have been, but I too haven't heard of aftermarket stereos doing that.. i don't keep up with that sort of thing though. Who installed it?Originally posted by richardchan2002

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

pioneer decks have a feature in which it adjusts the volume of the music to the noise level in the car. So by revving it prolly causes more noise therefore making the volume louder.
My deck hasnt been installed for a while so i forget exactly which setting it is but go through your settings and look something that goes from Low to medium low to high low to high or something along those lines.

It is called ASL in Pioneer. AUTO SOUND LEVELING, just turn it off.

while I too agree with it being the ASL that pioneer has, but just to be on the safe side, get your alternator checked as well. I had the same problem, and it turned out that my alt was failing, and only really provided enuff juice when my RPMs got higher.
