I purchased the EQS746 and installed it right above my CD player in my car (older JVC model with 2 pairs of pre-outs), hooked up a pair of RCA cables from my deck to the MAIN IN on the eq, then hooked up 3 pairs of RCA cables from my amps (2 pairs from my 4-channel Alpine MFR-240 amp to FRONT IN and REAR IN, and 1 pair from my bridged 2-channel Rockford Fosgate P500.2 amp to SUB IN). I also tested and have 12.04V running directly to the eq (and blue lights are lit up, only when deck is turned on, so I know the remote switch is working too). I have tried multiple settings (low, medium, high for various gains). No noise comes out until I am nearly at MAX volume on my deck. I then unplug the RCA cables from the eq and run it straight to my deck, and there's PLENTY of power for both amps. I don't understand what is going wrong here. Please help.

Make sure this eq doesn't have aux inputs on the back.If it does there may be a main/aux in switch on the unit.Other then that,you may have a bad unit.

Circuit diagram for audio reflex#eq-2

1
Hook up your equalizer to your receiver if it does not have preamp-out channels. The equalizer should always be between the receiver and the amplifier. Your amplifier will need integrated preamp-out and preamp-in connections to work with this method.
2
Purchase 2 pairs of RCA cables. To run a signal from your stereo receiver to the equalizer and back again, you'll need 2 sets of RCA cable (the same kind that is usually used to connect source components like turntables and CD players).
  • The length of the RCA cables should match the length of the distance between the receiver and the equalizer.
3
Connect one pair of RCA cables between the receiver and equalizer. Connect one pair of cables to the tape monitor output channels on the receiver and the other end of the cable to the left and right channel inputs on the equalizer.
  • You will usually find these channels on the rear of the equalizer.
4
Connect the other pair of RCA cables between the receiver and equalizer. Connect the other pair of cables from the output channels on the back of the equalizer to the tape monitor input channels on the back of the receiver.
  • Right channel jacks will usually take the red colored RCA plug while left channel should take white or black RCA plugs.
5
Use your equalizer. Turn on the receiver and switch the front panel output control to the "Tape Monitor" setting. This opens the tape monitor channels and means that the sound will travel through your equalizer before being sent to the amplifier. Adjust the equalizer knobs according to your preferences.
  • You should now be able to manipulate the controls on the equalizer to change the frequency response or tone of your music.
  • To switch on the "Tape Monitor" setting you should depress the button on the front panel of the equalizer.
  • If you have a tape deck connected to the tape monitor channels then you will have to remove this before connecting your equalizer.

Getting no sound hooked up to pre-amp and 2 rotel 200w amps with snell speakers

You didn't say whether the player is connected by 2 RCA cables (analog) or by digital cable. If by RCA, does the player have a headphone jack? I had a player once with a piece of a headphone that broke off inside the jack, muting the analog outputs.

I have a jvc kd r310 cd player and im running a 4 channel amp and 2 subs. How do i hook up another 4 channel amp to run my door speakers and rear speakers

There should be a "line out" on your amp. Take a pair of RCA patch cable and run it fron "line out" of the 1st amp to the "Line in" of the 2nd amp. Then wire that 4ch amp for your speakers.

I would like to hook up my 50 disc CD player to this unit

That should be easy. Not knowing what model 50-disc unit you have I'll assume it has at least one analog Audio Out RCA pair and maybe one or more of the possible digital outputs that correspond to the digital inputs on your CDR.

Simple: compatible Outs on the source go to compatible In's on the recorder. Ta-da!!!

Connecting a sonos 90 to BO 8000 active speakers

Does your sonus system has pre-out? you can directly connect one single rca cable to each output into the speakers. make sure, each speakers is set to left and right each channel. these switches can be found above the rca input of the beolab 8000 next to the power link input. You have to understand that by using powerlink source cable is ideal only for other bang&olufsen equipments......however, there are other options, if u don't have a pre-amp output of your amplifier, you can also modify the speaker out of the amp, thru a conversion cable available from bang & olufsen, with an rca cable left and right channel, without interfering with the powerlink.

Hook an ipod to Pioneer DEH-16

The RCA jacks on the rear of the head unit are rear pre-amp outputs. (google it if you need an explination on what purpose they serve or see the installation guide) With that said, I am able to play my mp3 player through them but since they are 'rear' pre-amp outputs my mp3s only play on the rear speakers. see this post for more...

Hooking tv to Bose radio

You need a pair of RCA cables.You might have some extra.First if you have a cable box or satellite box you must use a pair of rca's (3 cables, yellow, red, and white ends).If you have a digital cable or satellite box the on the back there will be rca outputs.use one of the rca cables and plug it into the output of the cable box to the INPUT of the Bose stereo(they will be labled) then on the OUTPUT of the Bose take another pair of RCA cables and plug them into the rca INPUTS on the TV then use the original remote to the TV and change the Input source the either AUX 1 or AUX 2 which ever aux you pluggen the cable into coming from the output on the Bose.If you do not have a digital Cable or Satellite box then you will need a Modulator.What this is ,is a small box that will convert the regular cable coming from the wall into those RVA cables that would plug into the INPUT of your Bose. you can get a modulator from walmart meijer radioshack...ect for about $20.Hope this helps,rate me if it does or leave more info.GOOD LUCK.
