Eclipse Crap 4502 Remote Spike Fix
This is a posting from the general forum on this topic - hopefully someone can benefit from it...
Yeah, I call Bull**** on the money back scenario. I told my dealer I wanted my money back and he told me to stuff it because it was a special order and he would never be able to resell the Eclipse 4502 unit (being a cassette deck) once it was returned to him (fixed I assume) from Eclipse headquarters.
Anyways I was royally pissed, and spent a couple of hours isolating the spike to the remote line to the EQ and amps. I solved my spike problem by putting a relay in-line on the remote out. But instead of using a constant 12 volt in used the remote line to both 12 volt in and trigger on.
This setup allows the relay to take the spike and gives a split second delay so the spike is all gone by the time the trigger sends power to the amps. (I suppose I should post this on the install forum)
The facts still remain, a new Eclipse head unit with a spike and a no return policy on cassette decks - from my dealer anyway.
