alrihgt so my alpine deck decided to go up in smoke lastnight... i borrowed a pioneer deck from a buddy of mine and everytime i hit a button on hte deck it makes the subs make a loud thump noise my broken alpine still turns on but no sound out of the speakers or RCA preouts so i beleive the internal amp and output went to on it..... could it of ruined my RCA cables, or maybe amp??? im not sure where to start here

i have pioneer deck running to a PG line driver using a PG RCA cable, then a monster RCA cable running from the line driver to my hifonics amps.... when the alpine worked it never made a thiump noise

my clarion deck makes my subs go poof when i bring down the volume from 21 to 19 and my older alpine deck didnt. just depends on the decks some do it

bland

On my pioneer deck the rca needed to be grounded on the back of the head unit. It seems to be a common enough problem with the pioneers.

Just wrap a bare wire around the outsides of the rca's and ground to a screw just beside them on the back of the head unit.

loud turn on is understandable but when it does it when i just switch a radio station or sound setting etc is not right..... i noticed lastnight it only does it when im using teh radio, with cds its fine :S

selective sound

ground didnt fix anything

is it possible when my alpine blew it screwed up my amp, line driver, RCAs or something? or is it more then likely a bad deck? i unplugged the antenna and that didnt cahnge anything either
