Radio/Speakers problem

[wpage]

Since you already took a stab at the connection issue which does sound like the most probable point of trouble. Call the Pioneer 800 help line and see if there are any issues with your version of the system.
If that does not work I agree with the last post that you should swap out the connection with another speaker and see if the problem moves. That will prove out wether or not its in the head or speaker direction.

thanks for the help guys. spoke with pioneer, their cs is horrible. they never admit to knowing that any issue exists, like with the back up input on the z1. but anyways.

i have the dash apart now and am waiting for this to happen again. the problem now is it wont happen. but i'll drive like this for a while to see if something happens.

migth take it to a local stereo place if it doesnt stop working soon.

I know the Z1's were having some problems. My buddy had issues with his and sent it back, they gave him a Z2 and problems over.

You have a Monsoon Sub in back or aftermarket..??? What other amps do you have..??

The fact you can correct the problem by just touching the volume would kinda say to me it's in the head unit though...

Next time it happens, rather than playing with the volume directly, adjust the balance all the way to the right and then back to the right and see if it corrects.. If that corrects the problem as well.. Next time just slap the top of the dash firmly with the palm of your hand and see if that works..

I used to have a Blaupunkt that you had to punch with your fist every so often to get the front left speaker to work.. Nothing like the effect of an obviously pissed off, longhaired kid, sitting in a TransAm listening to MegaDeath or Slayer, cranked up on 250 watts (REAL ORION WATTS) screaming obscenaties at the top of his lungs, beating the hell out of his radio with his fist while sitting at a red light..

yes i have the monsoon setup in the truck. everything other than the head unit is stock.

i have tried the balance thing before and that didnt turn the speaker on, volume seems to be the only way.

i havent tryed hitting it, but that will be the next step. it hasnt done it in the last several days since the dash has been apart. but once it happens i will try the balance thing again, and if that doesnt work then i'll try the hitting thing and if that doesnt work i'll go crazy on it.

thanks for the help
