Blinker audio help

[MaD]

I know I saw something about the blinkers in here somewhere but I cant find it, I just had a 4 channel amp installed and now the blinker chime is UNGODLY loud, the gain on the amp is turned way down but blinker and door chime is hella loud.. Is there a fix for this??

It can be changed in the settings on your headunit.

Well so far its been a bust on info I have the amp gain turned almost all the way down and the blinker and door chime are like screaming at me... I dont even want to use the blinkers at all.. the poor tweet is going to pop.. I have yet to install my new speakers, kinda afraid to.. :blankface:

Hmmmmmm.

Let me think, I did use 2 different amps.

I think I used my amp for my sub was tied to the front output from my LOC.
The amp is only for lows, therefore it did not pick up the volume for the blinker.

Well, I go in to the dealer this weekend and they said they might be able to do something.. he was not sure until he sees my car.. its really bad, I hate using my blinkers now.. worst case is that I pull the stock out and go aftermarket... really dont want to.. but to solve this issue I might have to..

Isn't there like a pro radio installer on the forum?

I do believe the blinker sound only comes through the front left speaker, you might be able to just tap into the passenger side signal. Unplug the front left speaker and see if noise stops.

Also see if you can play with the high pass filter to cut out the chiming.

The door chime comes thru the 6" in the door.. the blinker is thru the tweeter..

I go in Saturday to the dealer to see if they can do something.. I really dont want to replace my stereo, but to fix this... I might have to :blankface:

When installing an Amp, you should be using a Line Level Converter. The one I'm using is a PAC AA-GM44 Pac-Audio.com Product Details | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

This allows you to hook directly into the factory harness and read in the line level, and return your amp back into the same wires that the speakers use, without splicing into everything.

In addition, this line level output has potentiometers that allow you to reduce the line level volume out to your amplifier. This will allow you to modify the volume of the blinker directly.
