7893 alpine no sound
Oh, so many options...
First off - you can run either RCA or amplified speakers without interfering with each other. Hell, on my setup I have the front speakers running off the line level (powered output) from the deck, and the rear speakers running off of an amp (using RCAs). Now, then - do you have a stock "upgraded" sound system in your car? What I mean is, does your car already have an amplifier pushing the speakers (bose or monsoon, perhaps)? If the answer to that is yes, make sure that the remote lead is plugged in from the deck - otherwise the amplifier won't know that it's time to turn on and you won't be getting any sound... ~Mister.Lull On Mar 19, 6:07*pm, alpine user wrote: I have a 7893 alpine hu and hooked it up but no sound. it has sub output and front an rear output for rca jacks , i hooked up the speaker wires and no sound, do the front an rear rca outputs have anything to do with it? thanks, any help would be appreciated. -- alpine user |

Again, Lull is right on track. There are actually so many different things
that can be causing this. it is really hard to diagnose from the information you have given us. I mean, it could be a bad ground, your B+ and ignition wires could be connected incorrectly. The speaker wires could be connected incorrectly. More info would allow us to better help solve your problem. For instance, from your question it's not even clear whether you are using an outboard amplifier or not. Look, I REALLY don't mean to come off as a jerk, but there are just SO MANY things that can go wrong with a system, it is difficult when your only description is that your "speakers are connected and no sound." I'll take a stab in the dark, however (and I mean a REAL stab in the dark), if we assume you have connected all speaker, power, and ground wires correctly (and I have no idea whether you have or have not, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt), one possibility is that you have the internal amplifier of your Alpine in the "off" position. Alpine decks give you the option of turning off their internal amplifiers if you choose to use ALL outboard amps (as I have done with my Alpine decks). Check your owner's manual but their is a function in one of the menus that should read "IC On". This means the internal amplifier is working and this is what you want if you plan to run your speakers off of your Alpine directly. Why do they give you an option to turn the internal Alpine HU amplifier off? Well, the theory is that if off, power resources can be directed towards a higher output voltage (you'll have to do your own reasearch on why you want this, I don't feel like typing all night). Anyway, hope this helps, MOSFET "Mister.Lull" wrote in message ... Oh, so many options... First off - you can run either RCA or amplified speakers without interfering with each other.
