I installed a pioneer head unit... kept the factory speakers

installed 2 subs with an amp

everything was fine until I realized the volume output would get louder as I pushed the gas and got softer when I pushed the brake. The actual volume level on the head unit would remain at the number I put it on...

anyone ever run into this problem?

 

prolly something to do with power. does the deck get brighter?

 

Yes it does.... I was thinking power myself but I don't why.

I used a thin wire from head unit to the amp... so I'm thinking that may be it... but I thought the power wire was just enough to get the amp started(turned on).. I didn't know it was a continous flow of power....

 

it could be your alternator. the v.r. could be going bad. have you checked if your head light brightens when you give it throttle?

 

it does not.... plus it didn't do it with the factory radio

 

Sounds like low volts from battery or problem with alternator. Get a volt meter and see what the voltage is at the back of the radio with the car turned on a the car cranked.

 

go through your settings. you probably have the a.s.l. turned on. it changes the volume depending on how your driving. turn it off and the volume will remain true. i assume you have a newer pioneer head.

i gotta get that ****!!!!!!!

 

jdmotorsports might be right. from the sound of it, I think it's a.s.l. too.


-aoib0t, who doesn't like a.s.l

 

Doesn't the asl change the volume number on the deck though? I have never actually turned it on, on my Pioneer.

 

nope

-aoib0t, who knows :B

 

At first I would have said its the A.S.L. However, he said his deck get brighter also. The A.S.L. does not brighten your deck, only increases the volume to compensate for engine noise as the RPMs rise. As far as the lights getting brighter, I would definitely check your voltage regulator. I had a similar problem with a customer's car a few years back. The car's voltage would rise to 19.2V when I reved the engine and back down to 14.2V at idle. You may have your A.S.L turned on and a problem with your alternator or wiring.

 

most likely the asl like they said.

 

if your lights get brighter, its got to be your voltage regulator. check your amp wiring too.

 

i think you need a capacitor :]
