Re: My Bonne needs to be fixed....

I'm paying for this mistake now haha I'm hoping my mechanic ...

My Bonne needs to be fixed....

Hey guys,

It has recently come to my attention that there are a few areas of my Bonneville that need to be fixed. After getting my UIM replaced earlier this year by another garage ($700), my mechanic told me that my LIM was leaking oil and also needs to be replaced at the tune of $900.

Re: help with sub setup

i just plugged in an RCA to 3.5mm and tried playing music- still not a sound. i could take this EXACT setup with the wiring just the way it is and put in my buddys car and it would work perfectly fine. Im thinking that the battery is only putting enough power out to turn the amp on, but not power ...

Re: help with sub setup

Basically everything is wired correctly, the sub outs are turned on, everything SHOULD work, but it doesnt. After a lot of troubleshooting my buddy and his dad came to the conclusion that its the RCA's on the headunit

Re: help with sub setup

im pretty sure i also have an amp that came with the stock system, i found the ground wire for it under my backseat and the wire seems to go up under the dash. would that have any effect on the amp for the subs not powering them?

Re: help with sub setup

its not the amp because we plugged the subs back into the car it came out of and they fired right up no problem. we've also tried two different RCA cables, so i dont think its the cable. so that leaves the head unit, which i admit is kind of a piece of crap, but it just boggles my mind that TWO ...

I do have one question though-- the trim on my drivers side door is cracked and has come unpeeled from the metal part of the trim in a few places. Do i just remove the black trim altogether and throw the matte ...
