amp problems!

[inspire]

installed my amp today!! the amp works fine, however, when i listen to the radio it works fine, but when i switch to cd no sound is produced, the graphic equalizer thingy shows that music is played, but i cant hear anything!! i dont know what to do!!

[boi-alien]

tried different CDs? what kind of deck is it? i doubt it's your amp acting up because if radio works fine then there's no reason why CD won't work

[inspire]

it is an alpine 7894

[boi-alien]

were u listening to mp3s? or just a regular CD?

[D'z Nutz]

Kinda off topic, but did you do the install yourself? How much did all the wiring cost you?

[inspire]

i tried switching cd's....still wont work!! fuck, this is pissing me off!

[inspire]

redline13000 did the install...thx man!

[boi-alien]

ok, i know for my deck there's an option that changes the audio levels of each input, ie radio, cd, and aux, is there something like that on your deck?

[redline_13000]

np...yo guy try turning the AUX off..i think i might have turned it on

[inspire]

i dont think so....i just checked in the manual, cant see anything regarding that

[boi-alien]

hmm that's weird.. how new is your deck?

[inspire]

like 1 month

[boi-alien]

bring the deck back to the place you bought it, something might've shooken loose when u were installing. usually doesn't happen but it can happen, it's not outputting the CD signal.

Is the amp on when you are playing cd's?
What colour remote line did you use on the deck blue or blue/white?
If you used the blue wire you used the ant. power wire and not the amp remote wire. If this is the problem then the amp will turn on with the radio but not the cd.
Just a thought check it out.

the deck is on while playing cd's as well as the radio,
thanks for your help tho!

ok, i was playing around with the amp today and i cant figure out what is wrong!
when i use the radio on my deck, the amps power light is on, however, when i switch my deck to play a cd, the amps power light turns off...
what should i do?

[95acc]

If the remote wire for the amp is connected to the blue on the cd player you will have this problem. Hook up the remote line to the blue wire with a white stipe. this WILL solve your problem.
