I've got a 7675 and when ever I turn on the radio it pops loud as hell same thing when i change radio stations??? Also I get ground loop now. I just took out a crappy sony head unit and it didn't do any of this. I've got a 5 channel clarion amp hooked up to all 4 of the interior speakers and a kenwood sub. Also if anyone has a clarion instruction manual that would help a lot. It's got 2 yellow fused (15 and 3 amp) wires a red wire and a black wire. I need to know what the 2nd yellow wire is for.

You definitely have a grounding problem. Redo the stereo and amp grounds first. If the problem remains, unplug the antenae and test it out. If it still remains, then you might have a problem with the deck itself.

About the 2 fused wires:
Is this your stereo?


If it is, their web site says this deck has a dimmer built in; so I would guess the 3 amp wire is for the dimmer.
If so, you could connect it to the wire that runs your heater/ac lights, or just leave it disconnected.

Yeah thats my deck and I found out the 2nd fused wire is for cnet.

Stoopalini

Cnet Is that some sort of Alpine control network? ...... for cd changers and such?

Anyway, glad you got it figured out,

Thomas.

evilho7810

Yeah it's for Tv's and cd changers things like that.

Well I soldiered the ground connection and the ground loop went away but there is still that loud *** popping.

Stoopalini

Cool! one problem solved ..... one to go

You might want to check your remote power wire then. Amps will usually pop pretty loud when they initially get power if there is no signal being sent to them yet.
Some of the high end amps actually keep the channels from becoming active until an audio signal is detected on the RCA's - this stops the pop.

Another way people get rid of the amp pop is to use a time delay on the remote wire to hold off powering up the amp until the deck sends a signal down the RCAs.

Are you running any of your speakers off of the deck itself? If so, disconnect power to the amp and see if you still get the popping.

I think you have a litle more troubleshooting to do before you can figure out why it's popping like that.

Good luck!

I never knew that second yellow wire was for the CeNet....anyway, still hook it up.

Both yellows: constant power
red: switched power
black: ground

I'm running all the speakers off a clarion 5 channel amp so i'm not using the internal amp for anything. I think I might try putting a jump wire between the remote and power on the amp to see if it still pops.

Stoopalini

Yea, that sounds like a good idea.

If you still have the problem with the jumper wire, then try disconnecting the speakers one at a time - testing in between - to see if you have a problem with one of the speaker leads.

Lemme know what happens,

Thomas.

evilho7810

Okay tried each speaker one by one each one poped and I tried the amp in another car and it worked perfect. I just put the sony back in and its all working now so i think i'm going to have to take that peice of sh)t clarion in to get fixed.

Stoopalini

Huh, sounds like the RCA pre-outs have a problem.

Is it a new deck? Under warranty?

Thomas.

evilho7810

Nope like a jackass I bought it used.
