Sony XM-4S Car Audio Amplifier Questions & Answers
Hi im after some help coz driving w/o music is no
Congratulations on your new audio system.
I will give you 4 scenarios:
1st. From your head unit, use the Fader to separate the front speakers from the back. (only front speakers playing) now using the balance separate the left from the right so only one speaker is playing. If the sound becomes more bass filled then you have a phasing problems which could cause cut out (protection) issues. Do the same for the back speakers, BOTTOM LINE: make sure that your connections from amplifier to speakers are all correctly connected where they should be.You will know that your speakers are correctly connected when the bass is richer while both speakers are playing as opposed to more bass when only one is playing.
2nd. Your head unit RCA output is of a certain voltage (V) [signal strength]. (1.2V, 2V, 4V, 5V) Lets say that your head unit has a 4V output, To match this up with your amplifier you must adjust the gain control on your amplifier to be at the 4V position. If your voltage output does not match your input voltage and the signal in result that is being sent is too high for the settings on the amplifier, you will over voltage your amplifier making it distort then heat up and most likely start cutting out to protect it self. this could also potentialy damage your speakers.
3rd. Check that the speaker cables are not shorting on metal anywhere, that includes the speaker terminals not touching the frame of the location that they have been installed.
4th. The cable size you are using is not adequate for the power needs of your amp.
hope this helps.

Sony CDX-M850mp isnt playing any audio from aux or cd input
This issue might be due to a malfunctioning auxiliary input or a problem with the amplifier circuit. You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the connection between the auxiliary input and the head unit to make sure it's properly plugged in.
- Check the audio cable for any signs of damage or wear.
- Make sure the auxiliary input is selected as the source on the head unit.
- Check the amplifier circuit to see if it's functioning properly. If it's not, the amplifier may need to be repaired or replaced.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's recommended to have the unit inspected by a professional audio technician.
What is the correct way to hook up a 1000 watt Sony xplod Amp with 1 subwoofer to my Sony mp-40
To properly hook up your 1000 watt Sony Xplod Amp with one subwoofer to your Sony MP-40, you will need to connect the subwoofer to the amplifier using RCA cables. Once the subwoofer is connected, you will then need to use a power cable to connect the amplifier to your Sony MP-40. Make sure the power cable is connected properly and that the amplifier is turned on. After that, you should be able to adjust the settings on the amplifier to get the desired sound from the subwoofer.
My Sony GT90BT car radio is not working. No power on display.
Hi,
usually one uses a power cycle in order to reset the radio. If the radio is not coming on, the wires powering it could be bad so you'd want to check them with a multimeter for current. Then, you'd want to test the car battery to see if it's still powerful enough to support all of the devices in your car. Then you can get the radio checked.
Thank you.
My Sony car radio keeps scanning but wont hold a station?
Did you do anything around the rear window glass? That is where the aerial is unless you have some other type of antennae. There is also a connector plug under the dash behind the radio. Your signal isn't strong enough for some reason. Have you tried switching between FM and AM channels.
AMP shuts off
your problem could be in the fact that you are trying to overdrive the amp. sony will not carry a 1 ohm stable load and if your speaker are 4 ohm speakers wired in series then you cant drive the bass your looking for. try using soundstream tarantula amp or new hifonics block mono class d amp with about 1000 watts rms. what kicker subs do you have? that will also make the difference in amp choice. im running tarantula on 4 polk momo 4 ohm 12's and has broke my back glass in my jeep twice one time was for a show. oh well let me know. happy boom boom. i'll be glad to help
