Deck Skipping
 

So my deck skipps if my bass is too loud.
I got an alpine deck im not sure which one though lol...
Im looking at a JVC deck but like once i buy it i'll be hooking up my speaker amp so bass will be even louder since right now its turned way down cus id ont have speaker amp rca's.
I've been looking at the JVC KD-AVX2
its a dvd player with a 3.5" screen on it and its ipod ready...
But i dont wanna be running all my music trough a freakin ipod...

You have one of a couple of issues. One is too secure a mount in the dash and all the energy in the vehicle is landing smack in the cd player. Second is that the cd player is not mounted secure enough and is flapping around like a wet fart. Third is that there is a resonant frequency issue with the laser sled. If the bass hits a certain frequency with enough amplitude, it causes the laser sled to skip worse than two little girls with a rope. Take the cd player out of the dash and if you can, put it on the seat and see how it performs.

Quite an educational comment Rob - keep it up! Just want to add a suggestion in case you decided to replace the head unit, look for something with a buffer - it would help.

Socks, lots of them.

Socks, is there anything they can't do?

/The answer is no.

can they be BBQ'd?

i'll try that...
thanks alot
i was also thinking of dynamating the middle consol on the sides... would that help?

You should be running everything off your ipod lol.. Its god, The thing won't skip at certain frequencies like cd's do :smilie_da

And I heard nothing but crap things about that jvc deck.. remember thats its a jvc deck :eyes: From alpine to jvc.. never heard of such a thing. Ipod is the way to go though..

i only like JVC for the 3.5" screen...
my buddy has a JVC deck its not too bad...

I love alpine though... all i got is alpine...
