why is my car stereo not workinng?

Question 1
why is my car stereo not workinng?...  It was playing fine but as I made a turn the sound just cut out. The stereo still has power because the display and lights are still on and I don't see how it can be the speakers because all stopped playing at the same time.

Answers
1)   It doesn't like you anymore... - Joey

2)   silent song? - Snowy Betty

3)   mayb cause your car's CHEAP ! - kozo

4)   If you installed it yourself track down the speaker wires to see if you may have ground them out. I would check the harness as well. Sounds like a grounding issue if you still have power to the stero. Maybe a mute button if it has a remote? - Davo

Question 2
would an amp do me any good?...  I have one 10' inch sub and than bose speakers in my car, and i want it to be able to go louder and a friend told me that an amp was the way to go. Any suggestions on which one I would need? And how much difference would an amp make



Thanks!

Answers
1)   With the factory bose system , your options are limited. It is difficult to add components to that system. The bose systems typically have built in amplifiers. Your best bet is to go to a reliable car audio retailer(not best buy) and talk to the salesperson, he can let ya know what all you would need. Good Luck - LAWL

2)   with these complicated factory systems there is an option that isn't used much you can cut and split the cord on a set of rca wires and tap them into your regular speaker wires to acquire your sound signal and then its business as usual hooking the rest up this method would be a plan b though if you come across any other options i would look into them first but this way does work if you have no other options i have had to do this before in my ford focus it had a great factory radio and i only wanted to at a sub without an aftermarket head unit and this is about as easy as it sound you just cut one end off strip the insulation back and hook the pos and neg to pos and neg of the speaker and your speaker can remain hooked up as well so your factory system wont be affected as it only takes a small amount of power away from the speaker to send to the amp - jonkclifton

3)   yes with a 10" subwoofer you have to have a amplifier man you cant tell that thing sounds all disorted and sounds crappy???



subwoofers have to have a amplifier to power them properly your factory stereo is only built to run small highs and mids it cant handle a subwoofer and as far as what amplifier to get you need to find out the specs on the subwoofer like how many watts RMS it is and match the RMS of the amplifier to the RMS of the subwoofer..........



also you need to find out if your stereo has a amplifier hooked up already and bypass it its not in your stereo it should be in your trunk or uner a seat or something........



and the last thing you need . At your local wal-marts they sale a little box for about 12 dollars. it converts regular speaker wire output to rca for your amp. - SPOOK 812

please be specific?



also what kind of wiring for 4 35rms 100peak kicker side speakers to a 400watt 50rms x4channel amp???

Answers
1)   4 gauge for power and ground and like 14 gauge for amp to sub - Erin

2)   Kicker subs are the best - primo

Question 4
Alpine type r in a sealed enclosure?...  so my options are

12" alpine type r 500W RMS in a sealed box



or a 12" Kenwood KFC-w3012 400W RMS in a ported box



why? If i get the kenwood, its about $110 cheaper than the alpine, therefore i'll have the extra dough to throw down for a ported enclosure.



both would be powered by an Alpine mrp m500 300W rms @ 4ohms.



which sounds better?

Answers
1)   twin 12" alpine R's



but you'll need a huge amp to power those bad boys.(1000w RMS)



you can usually find 2 alpine R's on ebay for 200$ ish,



DO NOT get a ported box, they tear up your subs, and shorten the life significantly, also they sound like crap :(



Buy a sealed box, their cheaper and have a better sound - Jason

2)   What type of sound are you looking for? That will determine what subs would be ideal for you...



I would consider looking into AudioQue. They are going to be very good equipment and well priced. You could also look into FI Car Audio. Both companies make good subs and can give you better performance then a Type-R. You may not have heard of the companies but they are well known in the car audio world (google them for reviews).

Jason, a ported enclosure does NOT shorten the life of your sub. It also does NOT mean your sub will sound bad. If you have had an experience with either of these this is due to improper installation/enclosure specs. A ported enclosure will have very good sound quality depending on the specs used and the subs you have.



A ported enclosure will not damage your subs in any way as long as you do not exceed the sub's thermal or mechanical limits. If you do either of these this is due to an improper installation or enclosure size. It is not because a ported enclosure is used.



Good Luck!!! - MDC

What to buy a boy/girl racer for christmas?...  www.stgeorgesigns.co.uk

Answers
1)   if they are looking for bass go for a 15" 1500 watt Kicker powered by a 1500 watt or 2000 watt dual port kicker amp. - J-Money

2)   it would depend on if there dedicated to racing or just a weekend warrior a large powerfull system would be loud but would also weigh the car down iin turnmaking it slower smaller magnets overall size and power handling would lighten the load but smaller speakers doesn't mean you have to sacrifice qualliy many brands now offer slim line subs for just this purpose that is under the assumption you are looking for that part of the system in dash dvd players are a nice addition now days as well - jonkclifton
