Hi, ive jus added a pioneer avh5900 in to my car.. the problem i get is when my volume reaches between 17-21 which does seem to blast my speakers, my sounds jus cuts out on the system, altho the system stays on. have i got any wiring issues or anything? i have to turn the system off and on again to use it at a slightly lower volume.. any suggestions please!!!

Could be a connector or a connection is bad or loose,
or something in the wires.
The speaker seems to work so it could also be output from the player its self.

Have you tried Pioneer's site? Or a search engine?
SEARCH ENGINES ARE YOUR FRIEND!!!

Sounds like a bad ground. Try reattaching it first. Double check any splices also. And the source for the amp, if you tied on to speakers or spliced, double check it.

Very common problem with today's receivers. Receivers made today don't have a true preamp section in the amplifier and do not amplify the sound to the extent of an older receiver. I have large 15" front speakers on my system, and have stuck with my 15 year old receiver just because I know that a new receiver will not have the power to drive them well. Many of the newer receivers need to be turned up to 50-60% before you can even hear anything from the speakers.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! THE SPEAKERS ARE ****! they fell from just a tiny height aswell#!!! ive just added on external speakers to it using a aux cable sound quality is much better too!!!

could have shorted coil, check resistance on each speaker and compare, should be rated @ 4 or 8 ohms, or disconnect both then run individualy to test output

The mini jack was not designed to work in the manner in which you are trying to use it. The stereo output is always going to be at a higher output rate than the amplifier output. if you want to use an MP3 player with your stereo you will have to purchase a head unit with a built-in MP3 input or deal with the lower rate of volume.

ive had problems kinda like this ... normaly its a crossed or reversed speaker wire check the positive and negitive wire into the speakers "they move sometimes when there is more air moving around the speaker"

second make sure you have the impedence correct "possitive to positive negitive to negitive'

hope this helps

I had the same problem and have solved it bij resetting it.
Try the small hole above the powerswitch.

Good luck.

usually red, black, yellow for the power.. the rest are for the accessories.. ie. speaker, optional amplifier power on trigger.

black goes to the ground or chassis.
red goes to ignition (so the head unit willl only power on when the ignition is in ACC or accessory)
yellow goes directly to the battery but fused.
