Hi havent been here in a while but... i just installed a cd changer in my car under my front seat... problem it works fine but the music doesnt sound right it has a bad like static type sound in it.... its played on a radio station 89.1 fm or somethin but i was wondering if there is a way to fix it and use the cd chyanger with crystal sound... thanx please let me know asap!

 

Bump... Please Help!

 

k... your playing your disc changer over an FM transmitter... thats the problem RIGHT there... remove FM transmitter and sound should be crispily clearer once plugged in. until then enjoy static!

 

First if there is a radio station nearby on that frequency or the one next to it, you need to change the frequency on both the changer and the radio.

Is the unit properly plugged into the antenna jack of the old radio? They weren't intended to couple over the air, you need to plug the changer control box "RF Out" right into the radio, then plug the car's antenna into that box so that when the changer is off you can listen to the radio. This connection does not have the clarity that a line-level connection would have but there should not be static, it's more an issue of limited frequency response.

If your old radio is an aftermarket unit with an "aux" input you should use that instead.

 

Ok Yea i do Have The Aux... Which would probly sound better but the only wires hooked up go to the battery, the power, the ground and radio transmitter plug.. so if i disconnect the radio plug what is it going to use to play sound... there is no rca's on nuttin.. just let me know what i exactly need to do... and hhow would i change the frequency on the cd changer and w/e else... i relize the static bad sound is the bass coming from the speakers all of them in the car like a very buzzzzy bass... soo annoying.. witht he bass down to -14 lowest..... please help

 

okay, have you changed your speakers?... can you definetly say that they are stock speakers?

also what is your changer, and head unit, brand, model, etc.

 

There should be RCA plug outputs on the changer. Connect them to the aux on your head unit with a suitable cable.

 

No Rca's coming out of the changer.... Its a Rampage AudioVox 10 Disc Changer.. Just something.. Al The Speakers Were changed in the car all aftermarker.. before i had the cd changer just using the cd player the sound was perfect thats y i figured it was something with the changer or the radio that needa fixed..

 

k just checkin, but yeah, chances are the problem is with the fm transmitter, try changing the frequency it's being broadcast on, or pull out the head unit and inspect the connections, make sure they are good and solid.

but I still say you should try to bypass the fm transmitter, see if you can find a head unit that will accept that changer direct, or just find an adapter for it.

 

how do you change the frequency... and how would u get a adapter for the changer to the headunit?
