Help with new headunit install
Hey everyone,
I've got a 2000 Mustang convertible with the Mach 460. I got a new headunit, a Pioneer for my car which looks really cool by the way. But every time I turn it on, it makes a pop, and then works fine. I took it up to Circuit City, thinking the headunit was defective, and they said because I have the Mach system, I already have an amp (which I found in the front dash) and they are competeing. And somehow I need to fix this. Any solutions or suggestions? Guides? Anything? Thanks Robert |

I am a little confused by what they told you. There is nothing to compete with. The radio is turned on, it sends a signal to the amps, they turn on, and send the signals to the speakers, which put out the music you hear. There is nothing to compete with. The HU drives the amp, which drives the speakers. If you had installed another amp, there wouldnt be any conflicts with the stock amps, because you would basically be bypassing them. What I'm getting at is, you need to take it to a stereo shop, with liscensed technicians that actually know what they are doing, and have them check it out. It may cost you a little bit of money, but they can tell you what is really going on. The guys at CC and BB are just (usually) a bunc of dumbass kids. They may be able to install a stereo, but, as far as troubleshooting at diagnosing goes, I wouldnt bet a buck on em. |

You might try wiring up a relay to the remote turn on, on the amp.

Why would you do that?

Because it delays the remote turn on output causing the factory amp to turn on slightly later allowing the head until internal amp to turn before the factory amp thus elimanting the turn on pop.
