2003 convertible aftermarket HU issues
Hi,
I installed a JVC KD-G230 HU in my 2003 convertible today. For the harness I used a Metra 70-8113. First some oddities:
1. The harness did not seem to have any wires for a subwoofer. So right now the sub output from the HU goes nowhere.
2. The HU had one blue wire that said "To the remote lead of other equipment or automatic antenna, if any (200 mA max)". I connected both, the antenna power and amp power-on, to this blue wire.
Now issues:
1. There is a constant hiss in the speakers even when the HU volume is at 0. Like how a stereo sounds when you turn up the volume all the way up without playing anything on it.
2. The volume floor has gone up. At volume level 1, the stereo sounds too loud and at 0 it cuts off sound. The volume does not gradually become lower like before with the stock unit. Volume levels 1 and 0 are like on and off.
3. Where do I put in the sub out from the HU?
Any suggestions or tips for troubleshooting will be highly appreciated.
TIA,
