So I have another question is it bad qh to be listening to theilw i save up for a new huto be listening to the bl with only one rca going to the amp? It sounds nasty when you crank it thats why im wondering. Thanks guys

Yeah its a bummer but I got it from best buy so if I have the receipt laying around somewhere I'll definitely have to go there and talk to them about it because it works fine it just sounds like one of the rca outputs is shot. I want to spend less than $200 if possible. I like the alpine cda-105. I found it on techtronics.com with a 2 year warranty for $160. If best buy doesn't come through that's what I'll end up getting most likely. Any other h/u's you would recommend in that price range?

I did this several times and even ran new rca cables to be sure. No change. That JVC HU you have is way nice. You get what you pay for i guess. I though forking out $140 would be enough apparently i was wrong. It has a 12 month warranty and ive had it for 14 months . Definately will get an alpine HU next time. Or something of a higher quality in that price range.

Before you run out and buy a new head unit, can you verify this: You didn't happen to disconnect your battery recently? This would clear all your settings on your head unit. Nope. I pressed the reset button behind the faceplate and tried to see if that would do anything. I also contacted JVC and he told me to do the same. I had no luck. My settings havent changed at all i just one day started my car and when i was bumpin the "punch" that the bl usually has wasnt and still isnt there.

I just plugged my ipod directly into the amp and the beast was loud again so thats definitely the problem. Thats what happens when you buy from jvc . Im just happy i finally know whats wrong! Thanks everybody i really appreciate all of the feedback !

Correct. Ok, my neighbor has that exact cord to do that so ill post back as soon as i get a result. Thanks!

I swapped my buddies zx 1000.1 into my car today and had the same problem i even ran a new ground and im still having the problem. Now i know its not my amp thank god but wth could it be?

I swapped my buddies ZX 1000.1 into my car today (the same amp i have) and it sounded the same. I also re-did my ground. No change. I am totally confused on how this can still be happeneing. What could it be? Bad alt? I cant even think of anything else.

Thanks. Yeah me too. Forking out another $300 for an amp would be brutal.

Yeah, fortunately my friend has the same exact set up as me but has the bl 12 so were amp swapping tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback

Definately. I re-wired just about everything today, but ill double check my terminal connections on my amp tomorrow for sure. Thanks

Hey guys, I made a post about a problem with my fully loaded bl. Its just not as loud as it once was and Im still having problems but ive ruled out about everything and rewired everything. Now im thinking its my amp that is the problem. Is there a way to tell if your amp isn't working properly? I can't figure out how to tell i took off the faceplate and didnt see anything and it still turns on just fine. My only concern is i backed into a truck and so my trunk is slightly bent up a little bit making the seal not very affective causing my amp to get frost on it when i put my back seat up at night. Is there any way to really be able to tell if my amp is having a problem? Im running a kicker zx 1000.1. Thanks

Rewired everything today and replaced my rcas and im still having the problem. I swapped it into my friends car who has the same set up and it was pounding like normal again. Now im thinking it might be my amp. Doing an amp swap tomorrow with my same friend hopefully its not the problem but im afraid it might be.

Thanks for the feedback guys, Idk how it could be a ground problem if this is the first problem ive had with it but it probably wouldnt hurt to find a better one. All rcas are good. Im replacing my speaker wire with kicker wire next week but for the time being im going to replace it all with fresh speaker wire. Is it possible to fry speaker wire that isnt exactly the best quality? Ive had this role of 16 awg speaker wire ive used on all of my systems and have never had a problem with it. I also live in minnesota, its pretty damn cold here and i've noticed that the sub just doesnt want to go at all when cold and will go on demand when warm but its still quiet and it still distorts. Ugh, I'm just confused.

Hey everyone, I've had my fully loaded bl 15 for about 5 1/2 months and i love it. But now all of a sudden im having some wierd issues. One morning when i got into my car and was driving i noticed i had no bass at all so out of curiosity i turned it up to listen closer and all of a sudden the sub kicked in but when it did it was distorted sounding. Now ever since its been the same way and not to mention its not very loud now. Even when i first got it and was using my stock battery it sounded louder and better. Could my setup be clipping? Any thoughts? All help is greatly appriciated!
