My issue is everytime my sub hits my 7 inch screen in my nav cubby flickers. How can I fix this? Also is there anyway to get my kenwood dvd player to have a screen saver?

 

loose wire? signal interferance? need a capacitor?

 

Question 1
When the sub hits do the rest of your lights dim? If not it may just be a bad connection. If the other lights are dimming in addition to the flickering, its most likely a power issue.
If its just the screen flickering, check your ground location and the power connection

If the lights are dimming when the sub hits, give us this info

1. What sub/s?
2. What gauge power wire are you running from the battery to the amp?
3. What amp are you using?

The more specific you are, the more help we can provide

Question 2
no, adding a screensaver would involve flashing the hardware and recoding the firmware of the DVD unit, thats pretty much something only Kenwood engineers could do. Unless your unit could use Gif files as backgrounds, your out of luck on that one, but it would be cool!

 

4 gauge running from the battery into a distribution block which has 2 4 gauges runnintg off of it 1 into a jl 500/1 and 1 into a 450/4 the 450/4 has 1 set of polk mmc6500s running off of it. The 500/1 has 2 10w3v3's. I probably shouldve run 0 gauge into the distribution block. But wasnt sure if it would fit.

And lights are dimming as well. But not initially. Only when I really turn it up.

 

dude you need a capacitor!!!!!!!

 

Your becoming really helpful on the forum. Your avatar scares the shyt outta me. Do you know if its possible to make a picture dvd cd and have an image show up and just pause it? Think that would work? Or make a dvd slide show of my z. Any idea how I can do that?

 

I have a 1 farat but its not installed. And I doubt would handle it.

 

you mean farad...lol

get it installed and see what happen.

 

haha yeah im so out of it. Ill install it, but I have to go get some wiring for it. I was gonna hold off until I changed out my subs/ speakers and put in a screen. I need to clean up some wiring anyway. Guess I wont hold off to long.

 

yea the same issue happened to me when i didn't install the capacitor.....i got pissed so i bougth a 15 farad cap which is wayyy more than i needed, but it solved all of my headaches so YAY.

 

Where in hell did you get that. Give me one.

 

+1, since it only starts flickering when your cranking the volume, its most likely a power issue, a Cap should cure it. You might also have the battery checked, it might be soon time to replace it.

Thank you for the help props, I can only help with stuff I know about. This stuff can be pretty frustrating and I like to help my fellow members

Yeah my avatar is pretty disturbing, its from the starburst berries and creme commercial, the first time I saw it my wife yelled WTF!! at my TV... made me laugh

The DVD slide show would work if you have the unit bypassed to allow viewing while your in motion, but I think if you did it that way, you wouldn't be able to listen to music at the same time

 

The way the screens hooked up it thinks its a headrest monitor so it has a stand alone dvd player which has an audio rca running from the dvd player to my headunits input, and a video running from the dvd player to the screen. What program could I use.

 

Ahhh you are crafty. So the DVD supplies the video to the "headrest" lcd screen Basically you need a source to feed a screensaver, while the Headunit continues to play your audio source. Easy to do with a carputer, but Ive never seen an inline video source, most monitors that offer a built in screensaver just go black. if anyone has seen one, it would probably be Spike100, he's great at finding obscure stuff like that.

wait, you have a standalone kenwood DVD player and a single din radio for audio? I thought you were using a double din unit

 

Nope not yet Im not. I have the dvd audio running through the headunit. and the farenheit is a stand alone headrest monitor mounted in my nav cubby.

 

Well, you could just close the cubby but seriously a two into one av switch to switch to another video source besides the DVD player to send an alternate AV feed to the screen would do it, but the screen saver feed would have to come from a laptop or carputer (even to run a program you would need a computer of some type), A DVD slide show would be more economical.

 

Thats what Im doing Im using a program called dvd slide show proffessioanl.
