i thought the stock system was clarion....





oh and i have no comment as to why its not working....my stock stopped working and i got a new one and it works

 

My car came with the Pioneer system with Hedrest speakers, 2 door speaker, 2 woofers behind the seats and I guess 2 amps..

 

yeah the rain might have some thing to do with it, wet rug?



mike

 

oh you have vert...

 

When I bought mine, my stereo didn't work either (stock stereo) so I just hit it and it started working fine. That is, until I turned it off and tried to turn it back on again. No juice, so i hit it again, and poof. Like magic it started again. The stock stereos are Pioneer.

 

thats weird...mine has clarion writen all over it and its def the stock one

 

Mine has 3 amps from the factory.



You sure you took power from the right source?

I dont know, the flickering on and off would seem like a

loose connection. Double check all your connections, if you

used butt conectors, which I hope you did use, I would

replace the power one, maybe its not quite on there right.

 

Butt connectors suck ***. Get a soldering iron and some heat shrink tubing and/or electrical tape.

 

butt conectors work well when you have a good tool

to crimp them and know how to use it. I think alot of

people dont know how to properly use butt connectors,

I used to think they were **** too when I first tried using them

and didnt know how to properly use them



I use marine grade connectors and shrink tubing

 

GM weatherpack connectors work great too, i used them on all 3 amps and the door speakers on my leaky vert, you need a really good crimping tool though. If it is turning on and off, could it be a relay?
