Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 11331 Registered: Oct-05 | no i am trying to say that the bass is so loud that it is making the hu skip. the vibration from the bass that is. is the hu mounted very nice and tight? also what kinda hu is it? the better hu's don't skip unless the bass is extremely loud. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1469 Registered: Jul-06 | You should also check the voltage levels of the power wire going to the head unit.My friend was having problems when he would turn the volume up which would cause the head unit to stop playing for a bit.I told him to run a new power wire from the fuse box and problem solved. |

Bronze Member Username: Ceoofdaroc4Post Number: 75 Registered: Mar-07 | idk off hand its grey with green lighting the change track buttons and menu up and down buttons is like an additon sign on the left hand sign kinda like a directional pad.. how do you turn up the skip protection? |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1478 Registered: Jul-06 | Lol,I don't think HU's have that feature.I've seen some CD players with G-Shock and ESP I think...but HU's don't have the feauture to adjust skip protection that I know of. |

Silver Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 273 Registered: Nov-06 | LOL LMAO Skip protection lol i got a laugh out of that one, but yeah that sucks i had the same problem. I had a new pioneer and it was skipping, so i just sold it for 80 bucks to a friend and bought the new panasonic motorized HU and it only skips if the cd is scratched besides that it handles all the bass like nothing im surprised tremor is having trouble with his. |

Bronze Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 30 Registered: Mar-07 | i didnt mean it was low as u can turn it up i was sayin overal the HU has a low skip protection esp or w/e u wanna call it i had an old HU that was only 2 secs of skip protection it was wack |

Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 1994 Registered: May-05 | I don't think your headunit is skipping because of the bass. I mean you said the bass is at 0 and the EQ is on vocal which minimizes bass. That headunit actually sounds like my old one (an older pioneer). I had that with my Arsenal in a ported box tuned to 35hz and I could turn it up all the way with no skipping. Your problem may be your amp is going in and out or protection or something of that sort. |

Bronze Member Username: Ceoofdaroc4Post Number: 77 Registered: Mar-07 | I took it 2 my installer at circuit city and he said tht its bcuz my bass is rattling too bad he was shocked at how loud it was he said its prolly pretty high on the DB meter? He said I'm def going to need dynomat is that stuff any good bcuz its pretty expensive does it work? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 39 Registered: Mar-07 | YEa dynamat really wooks if installed properly and u can even see 3dbs increase or more and it just makes it sound so much beter and yea that stuff is a pretty penny but its worth it http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i145_sound-dampening-equipment.html it seems to be the cheapest there what eva u do dont get it from ccity |

Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 1995 Registered: May-05 | He was trying to make a sale.. I mean, of course sound deadener will work wonders, but what is that going to do for your headunit?? (Which is why you went there in the first place) |

Bronze Member Username: Surferdude9371Maitland, Florida Post Number: 43 Registered: Mar-07 | mine did that i just pluged my ipod into the back of the hu which is nice because i dont need a bunch of cds and it wont skip |

Silver Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 492 Registered: Feb-06 | If the bass makes your cd player skip the dynamat would only make it skip more. Sounds like a headunit problem to me not a bass problem. Anyways don't but dynamat, it's way over-priced. For about 25$ you can buy 'peal-n-seal' or somepeople call it "heat and ice shield" at homedepot. It comes in a big roll and its the same stuff as dynamat. Here is a great site all about sound deadener http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ The guy has done all kinds of tests with the most common sound deadener products for car audio heres what he concluded "If you really need to do this in the absolutely least expensive way and are not convinced or concerned by the demonstrated inferiority of asphalt based sound deadeners, go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a roll or two of Peel & Seal. This is the least expensive option and you won't have to worry about shipping costs. I can see no difference in Peel & Seal and the asphalt based aluminum skinned products in this review. If you are going to live dangerously, do it right" asphalt based aluminum skinned = dynamat |
