Guys,

I've just powered up my MS-8 for the first time since reconfiguring my amps, and rewiring etc....

I've switched from speaker level in, and recoded to HiFi, now using Low Level (RCA) in.

During input calibration, I am getting intermittent Signal "Noisy" / "None" with spurts of OK OK OK. I managed to get a solid signal long enough to get a calibration ONCE...but never again. Now if I get OK OK OK (47/55 volume), and continue, the "acquiring" process can't complete as I get a "Channel Missing" error message.

I unplugged my two new HD amps, so that should eliminate them as a cause of the noisy signal.

Could it be the twisted pair RCA's I crimped onto the end of the Technic vehicle harness? The actual conductor wire for those seemed very tiny.


***I am aware of the option to SKIP INPUT SETUP for a HiFi configured vehicle. Due to my use of the BMW station for iPhone, I don't wish to do this, as well as I would like to get a good reference point even if I SKIP INPUT SETUP on my final calibration.

I would get the JL RCAs which have regular speaker cable so you can make better connections. I've had nothing but trouble trying to connect to those tiny wires myself.

Get the JL speaker to RCA ends. They're good quality. Only problem I had was the plug was a little loose but I fixed that with some pliers. I just recoded yesturday and I'm not having this problem at all.
