Infinity Basslink II Problem : stops working |
|
|
I bought Basslink II from an authorized online dealer, I had it
professionally installed.
The problem is that it only works for the first 3-5 seconds then stops
working (even if it is powered up). It works for longer time only if
the car is shut off and the head's volume is less than 50%. Otherwise
if the car is running it works 3-5 seconds each time I have to shut the
head off then on.
I checked the connections, power, fuse. Installer said everything is
installed properly.
Cables are connected with both rear speakers, Installer said it is ok
even though instructions say they should be connected to Front and Rear
speakers of my PT Cruiser. Does it make a difference? What seems to be
to source of the problem? Is it possible that the unit is defective?
Please HELP!!

But I had a BASSLINK (not II) Installed and it stopped working after a
year of good bass, then I bought Basslink II to replace it.
The first unit (BASSLINK) did the same thing before it broke (even if
it still powers up, there is no bass). is it the car's electric system?
battery not feeding enough power? I haven't checked the battery in 3
years.
I don't think the installer will do more than wiring it up correctly.
Any DIY suggestions will help.
Thanks |

Just curious...
Why would you buy the same thing after it crapped out in only a year's time?
Anyway, doubt it's the battery. It wouldn't explain why it's shutting off
even at low (or no) volume levels. Are you sure it's not the head unit at
fault? If turning the HU off and on resolves the problem, it implicates the
HU...

It does not matter if the front inputs are not connected, but the sound is
better if they are.
Without the fronts connected you will have no bass when you fade to the
front.
as far as the shut off problem. how is the remote turn on hooked up? |

Did you use the same wiring from the old unit?
will the basslink work at low volume and shut off at higher volume? |

Yes I used the same wiring, but verified that connections are Good
Yes it will work for longer time at low volume then shuts itself off.

No remote turn on is hooked, Basslink powers on from signals comming
from rear speakers Automatically |

Because I liked the product and price and thought that BASSLINK II
would be improved. I will try another HU and see if I still have the
same problem. the HU heats up quickly, is that a problem. I have
Factory stock Infinity in PT Cruiser |

Is there a fuse at the battery connection?
if there is, I would change that, even if it looks good. |

Still no luck |

It doesn't actually shut it self off powewise, it stops emitting bass.
The power led of BASSLINK II turns on when I turn on the HU, but stops
emitting bass after 3-5 seconds |

Then the unit may not be sensing the signal from the head unit correctly.
you can try using a line level adapter to convert the speaker level to rca's
and try those inputs.
you will also need a remote turn on wire also. |
