i have a deh-p4200ub head unit and 4 ts-a1374r speakers in my 99 xj. when i listen to the raido the speakers sound great and crystal clear. but when i use the usb and aux input i get static/poping when i turn the volume up. i have no idea whats causing this to happen. any ideas?

not really sure where to put this thread so i hope this is the right place lol

 

Mine does this too. Try using an auxiliary cable.

 

i did. i tried a usb cable an aux cable 3 different ipod and my phone (droidx) still get static everytime

 

Maybe a stupid question... But is everything plugged in all the way, check the connections on the back of your deck AND your amp

 

the amp is powering my subwoofer so it wouldnt come into play with the speakers

 

just went outside and pulled the head unit out to check the wires. everything is connected good so i put it back in and it didnt change anything

 

But I also said check the connections on your deck, wasn't saying just the amp. I had the exact same problem with the popping and static on my old deck, was a loose wire internally. Radio worked fine because it runs on a different feed compared to the aux or even cd player. I run my speakers from my amp, another reason why I asked, never know.

 

What is the volume on the devise you're plugging into the deck set at? In my wife's car with a factory radio, it will sound distorted and muddy if the volume on my ipod is all the way up, I turn the ipod volume down just a little and it sounds a lot better.

 

i checked the wires going into the back of the deck, are you saying i should take it apart and look at the wires inside?

around 80-90% i know that putting it at full volume on the ipod will distort the speakers from being in my friends cars and using there aux cables so i never put it up all the way

 

haha no, I ended up having to buy a new one, and boom problem solved. Sucks I know, but I couldn't be without my music... Especially when I'm wheeling! I took apart the old one AFTER the fact and found a bad solder

 

well i bought it 2 months ago so its pretty much new, do you think i would be able to return it under a warrany issue? and i know not having the music i want sucks. i can listen to the radio and it comes out fine but the radio doesnt have the music i wanna listen to

 

Id say so, where did you buy it from? Try and return it under store warranty before you return it under manufacture warranty.
