I used to have the 7001 screen in my z for about 3 years and it finally died (it would power up with the ignition) a month ago so I just bought the 7000 and installed it but I have a slight issue. I wired the power into where the old one was powered to. THis is also the power for my alpine head unit and clarion dvd player....I notice that the screen slightly flickers and flickers especially when the bass hits....I never ever had the issue with the 7001. Also, the 7001 had a 3.5mm plug for the power and the new one just had the black and red wire, so i used the existing adapter from the 7001 and cut the end off and wired the 7000 to that using butt connectors....any ideas why it is doing this??

 

The voltage is dropping as your amplifier sucks the extra current for the bass notes. The wires to the amplifier need to be bigger and you ought to have them directly wired to the battery via a fuse. If this is the way you already have it wired then your battery is suspect.

 

How do you explain the 7001 screen never having this issue though? And my amp is wired this way and has been for 4 years

 

Different models; maybe different parts.
