Hey guys I put my Pioneer DEH-p9600mp in my 2003 Z06 the other night and it sounds like absolute crap! I'm using the peripheral SVEN2 and SVHGM4 (wiring harness). I tried using the adjustments on the SVEN2 box but i didn't even hear a difference. Sound comes out and it is clear but there isn't hardley any bass and I have to turn it up really really loud for it to sound half decent!

All I wanted was to be able to use my pioneer H/U since it is MP3 and I already have XM hooked up to it.

If anyone has any idea as to why it sounds like crap please chime in!

Here are the two pieces I'm using:

I believe another member said he had to turn the bass way up on his H/U because the bose amps take a high power signal to turn them on, you might check that...

Something to consider...i'll check into that!

any other ideas?

ive never used the peripheral but a few things. Are you sure the factory subs are even turning on, also did you have to use any of the RCA connectors or no

TransAmGT

I'm not sure if the factory subs are turning on...how can i check?

Also I didn't have to use the RCA's since i'm not running an aftermarket amp.

try turning those ***** up all the way temporarily and u should hear some bass from the front doors maiunly from the lower half of the speaker grill. Its poss the stock bose amps arent turning on. Did you hook up the remote wire from your radio

TransAmGT

I turned the ***** and nothing happened.

Yes I hooked up the remote wire. It's the same blue wire I would use for an aftermarket amp right?

pentavolvo

yes. So basically your stock subs arent turning on then is my understanding. Did your pieces come with a users manual maybe something you could find a link to online so I could take a look at. Yup should be same wire im pretty sure ur bose amps arent turnin on

TransAmGT

Thanks alot!! I'll check into that when I get off work! If I can get those amps to turn on that would be wonderfull!

pentavolvo

im tryin to see what i can find out about what the trigger wire is so hopefully i can help you out but basically the remote wire may not be sending the turn on signal to the right place

TransAmGT

Thanks! Any info will help!

I have the same problem. I have no base with my Alpine HU and stock speaker with the pac oem harness.

pentavolvo

its because the bose amps arent turning on,

TRANSAMGT were u able to located the manuals online?

Bret01Z06

Well I have given up on the stock bose and ordered a set of diamond audio componets. Trying to decide if I will be fine powering them off the headunit or spend the money on an amp. I just want it to sound decent.

pentavolvo

with components you better amp them and deaden the door a bit

TransAmGT

Well I figured out why it sounds so bad

The front speakers are not working

Does anyone know why this would be?

scott_fx

are the amps just not turning on like penta suggested? are you getting 12v on the acc leads?

VinceC5

Instruction manuals--- can you tell us which method you have yours connected?
SVHGM4

SVEN2

Also, are you sure about the HU model number? I can't find any info on it. The SVHGM4 states that it needs a minimum 4v input...

TransAmGT

With the SVHGM4 I'm just using the basic wiring.

With the SVEN2 I'm using Option 3 the first set of wiring
