Hi Guys n gals,
very strange happenings in the stereo world of my bus!
I have pioneer head unit which ran 2 speakers up front, then i have a 2 sub speakers & tweeters run by a 400w edge amp, all off of a big o;l leisure battery.
Its been fine for years except i did change from an old pioneer amp as it kept cutting out and its worked great for months with this amp.
Anyway my new set up has started to do the following -
After a time, could be 2hours or 10 minutes the sound totally cuts from the speakers in the front and in the back and it just gives a really quiet muffled sound in the back? After about an hour it sometimes starts again, but then will either go for a while and then do the same thing or will do it immediately???
I have changed my head unit to a brand new pioneer unit and the same thing happens.
its not the battery as the same thing happens on 3 different batteries i have tried (all fully charged)
Does it sound like the amp is maybe getting to hot and cutting the sound and this is somehow cutting all of the sound to the speakers in the front as well by feeding back up the cable (remote or sub leads)? or is it maybe i have the gain up to much (im sure i havent?)
The only thing i havent tried, which i will this weekend is to see if the sound in the front speakers comes back if i remove the wires going to the sub and the remote wire.
Any ideas what else could be checked. All the wires are in great condition and i have changed the fuse holder, fuse and split charge relay as well, plus all the wires have been upgraded to thick uns (i did this a couple of years before the issues and all was fine for the past year or so) earths checked etc?
Sooo any ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated as its doing my swede in :x
