Ok I need your help guys. I have a Blaupunkt Casablanca CD50 and I just installed a Clarion Camouflage. Now i have a problem. When I hook up the sub a don't get any radio stations But Cd's sound great. If I unplug the RCA's I get the stations back. I have run a new power wire and replaced the RCA's. I have installed I lot of amp and sub before but I have never had this much trouble before. Do any of you have any Idea's for me to try. Or do I have a bad head or sub/amp unit?
Thanks
Jamie

 

Make sure you have a solid ground and that the wire is the same size as your power wire. The Camo uses a class D amp which can generate lots of Radio interference or noise. Some are shielded better than others and some radios are more sensitive to it. Blaus are some of the most sensitive receivers made. This is great for reception but may not be great when located near a class D amp.

 

So you think I should run a new ground for it from the battery or frame? Can I shealed it better some how?
Thanks Alot

 

No need to go back to battery but make sure it is grounded to solid unpainted metal and uses the same size wire as your power wire.

 

Where is your remote turn on for the amp coming from? Antenna line?

Norm, did you just reply to a post of mine on the carsound forum?

 

No it is coming of the amp turn on wire. I also triead putting it with the power wire just to see but nothing.

 

Yup that was me, I hang out in both forums. I used a Navone Engineering N902 ( www.davidnavone.com ) for my amp turn on. Most Visteon (Ford) head units do not have a remote amp wire. The Blau HU does.
