I recently installed subwoofers in my truck but can’t get them to play off of my radio. I can plug an ipod to the amp and the Subwoofers will play off of the ipod. But if I connect the rca jacks from my amp to the radio deck input, the subwoofers wont play. Need help please.
Side Note: My radio works, just need help with the input and output
Connecting the amp inputs to a radio deck input won’t work. You have to connect a preamp OUTPUT from the radio deck to the amp inputs.
Most aftermarket head units include at least one set of RCA preamp outputs. Stock receivers don’t usually have preamp outputs. The solution is to "tap" the speaker outputs (most often rear speakers) and connect them to a line output converter (LOC) and use RCA cables from the LOC to your amp inputs.
Here’s an excellent 2-channel LOC with amp remote turn-on:

I live in a remote rural area with no radio reception. I do have internet however, and since there are many stations streaming online, I could connect with a "whole house transmitter" which would rebroadcast the station so that I could receive it with various radios in the house. My question is: What is the best way to get a continuous streaming signal, 24/7? I don’t want to but a computer to use solely for this task, and most of the internet radios that I have read about don’t have good reviews. Any Ideas?
theres a great media player out there that i use called Winamp and one of the things it has is an internet radio streaming function, it has AOL radio and Shoutcast radio and both have tons of stations to choose from, i prefer AOL radio because it comes with a lot more channel options.
place to download is winamp.com
its completely free and its a rather small program
I just bought a 2001 Nissan Maxima GXE and the car has a Alpine radio that someone replaced the factory radio with. I would rather the factory radio in my car. Where could I find a factory radio to buy and is it expensive to have it replaced back to the factory radio?

There are five days to go on this auction – current price is $1.
I am working near a radio frequency welding machine, I already had one miscarraige. I am in the office working now. But my computer is affected everyday by the welding machines, as well as the phones. I am still around the machines at times.
It doesn’t.
This is for my bathroom. I’ve seen others do it. Once you flip the light switch, a radio (clock radio or music box) inside turns on.
if you have the switch wired to a plug outlet, plug the radio into that so when you turn on that swith, the radio comes on then you can do this. the only other way is if you plug a motion sensor in the plug, then plug the radio into that. they sell those at lowe’s or home depot, and cost anywhere from $25.00 to $50.00. hope this helps.
I want to put an after market radio(alpine) in my 99 Civic. I took the 2 screws out underneith near the where the climate controls are but how to I get the big plastic piece off? Which is holding the radio in? Thanks.
I say take it to a professional. Seriously if you can’t install the radio what makes you think you’ll be able to do the wiring and correctly at that?? Good luck (-:
I know this is probably a stupid question, but at times, my car radio goes out and all I hear is static, on every station. Nothing is wrong with the antenna, or so it seems. I don’t know if it is the radio itself or the antenna, more likely the antenna, but what would be wrong? Anyone else share a similar issue? Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
Nope, I’ll lose the single in open areas, just random areas. There aren’t any tunnels or bridges I go under in my area anyways.
Did you ever take the radio out of the dash board? The connection from the antenna may not be completely plug into the back of the radio. Or there might be a short in the antenna wire itself.

I have a 96 dodge dakota and for some reason when I went out to start it today there was no power going to the radio. The clock didnt even work on it. I did check the fuse and it looked fine, so I just put it back in..What would cause the radio to just stop working?
It is a stock radio and no I havent tampered with anything. Is there a fuse behind the unit possibly?
replace the fuse, sometimes fuses look good but it might have a small break in it, if it’s not that I would look for a shorted or broken wire to the radio.
You know how you see the police talk into the radios they have clipped on to their belt or that sits in their car? Is that a CB or a Ham Radio? Or is it something else? I would appreciate it if you could answer if you have the law enforcement experience or are related to somebody who is law enforcement.
Police use everything from old vhf or 150 mhz to 800 mhz trunk systems. The handheld models are just 5 watt versions of the ones in the cars. Ham and CB aren’t for law enforcement, but are unlicenced frequencies that anybody can use. Law enforcement always use licenced frequencies that only they can talk on.
