Q: Nakamichi cut out at 2/3rds volume problem...


By Reynolds - usenet poster


Hi,

I have a question

I recently upgraded the car component around my audio system, and
consequently had to replace a few things they, being speakers.

the unit is a Nakamichi indash CD unit running only 4 relatively small
speakers, problem is it cuts out at about 2/3rds of the maximum volume,
which in an Alfa with a 3" exhaust is not adequate really.

Nakamichi CD35Z - 4 x 43W [4 Ohm]
2 x VDO HSP 1321's - MAX 110W, NOM 30wW
2 x Eurovox 6420 - - [I think 20W nom. ]

possible problem:  is as Italian cars frequently have no 'accessory' power
setting and CD units need two supply's, one always on, and one that works
only when the engine is on. I had to wire up the Unit's standby system power
supply to the old systems power source and connect the units internal AMP to
the rear window power supply. although if i operate the windows during play
nothing happens.

any suggestions?

Regardless of any problems you're having, I'd recommend wiring the permanent
supply straight to the fused side of the main fuse box (or even straight to
the battery if you're feeling adventurous), and the switched line to the
switched side of the ignition.  It sounds like it's all been bodged a bit,
which isn't going to help one bit when you come to upgrade with some amps
ands subs   :-)

Sounds like your power supply isn't strong enough. Wire it up properly !
