Mine has been getting quieter laterly, like i keep having to turn it up louder to hear it. Today i got in the car and had to turn it up almost all the way to hear it at all, both cd and radio. Later i got back in the car it was working again, just quiet. It's nothing fancy just a sony.
Is it about to die?

No but your ears are :D ;) Quit bumpin' that Rap and Hip Hop so loud Kyle :lol:

that would've been my suggestion as well :lol:

theni saw the word sony. they make great playstations, but.............

You probably just used up the units life span. I'm sure they make them to break... if they didn't then no one would buy new ones.

yeah, sounds like it is burning out. Get something else.

:lol: I don't even listen to much rap/hiphop. most of the new stuff is garbage.
But i figured it was going out on me. Just thought i'd see if this was a common problem with some sort of easy fix

I would say that your ears are going too...too much janet jackson!

omg Janet!

If you need someone to install a new stereo, Kyle, I can help ya out.

yours have a reset behind the faceplate? my brother had a sony in his grand am that did that. kept getting quiet to the point it wouldn't even play. there was a reset button behind the faceplate (removable faceplate) which we reset and it worked fine after that. but I'm no expert on sound systems.

+1 my friend's did the same and when i reset it, the problem was non-existant..

see thats what i'm talking about. So was the reset button on the back of the faceplate itself or on the unit itself.........haha unit

I don't know what is so funny about unit.. but the button is on the unit itself.

*SNICKER* He said unit tee hee

yes what Justin said, on the unit. :D

Cool thanks guys i'll check it out later today.

hey kyle if you need to pick a new one up come talk to me

:rolleyes: boys and their "units"

kyle, you know you want another stereo, so just use this as an excuse to upgrade ;)

:lol: I know i do. When it started getting quiet I was pissed for about 3 seconds, then i was like oooo, new stereo time :banana:
We'll see though. I need some torco and I just ordered headers and uppipe. So the stereo might have to wait a while.

if you are on a budget, but want a good radio, i have a recommendation...

i know the company has a "cheap" reputation.. but a lot of their products are actually pretty damn nice.. its the pioneer 4900. It retails for around 160-180.. I personally have it in my WRX and LOVE it. it makes the stock speakers sound pretty good, and it gets LOUD. The screen is tight looking, shows u the artist and song title and fun stuff like that.. its got a aux input as well, so on road trips i hook my computer directly up to it for my mp3 archive =) Sounds EXCELLENT!

jvc arsenal ar450 or 350, i think it was the 350.

costs approximately $100

50w x4
mp3 player, ipod ready, xm sattelite ready. sounds pretty good in my car. cardomain.com ships em up pretty quick and inexpensive.

Is there are rule about quoting yourself? :lol:

the reset button is on the unit, when the face plate is removed..kyle if you want me to show you my unit, let me know, i am more than able to...wait...disregard !

Thanks Chewy, but i played around with my unit and found the button.

This thread is no longer about car stereos, is it?:lol:

Yeah time for OT :D

hahahaha good thread...this makes me think...if car stereos are runnin that cheap...maybe i should upgrade...and then think about replacing the amp (if even possible in an easy take out put in fashion)
