hey dudes....i am having some problems with my new tower speakers. they play fine when the radio is playing, but when i change the source to cd or usb........only the boat speakers work. it's going through an amp and i notices the amp only has a green light when the radio is on and when i switch to cd, lights out and no tower boomies Confused

any help would be cool.....thanxs cousins

haha thats funny u said somethin jeff, cause since we got that mean NW when december rolled in, i was on lockdown. then the heatwave rolled through over the weekend....40 Cool

i called the crew and called for a creek peek......i get there first and i must say Shocked

i wasn't expecting to see my entire creek covered with a sheet of ice coast to coast Rolling Eyes

......so

we met up on a spot closer to the ocean, south point, dropped in no problemo....a lil bumpy on the front end so we went around the horn and across the bay what seemed to be solid ice was actually handblown glass from his majesty as far as the eye could see.......in both directions.

as we ventured further into uncharted territory we came across an island, we had never seen before.............discovering a new island in your own bay for the first time is a pretty amazing feeling........full wetsuity gear we had no probs for our butter set......when we stopped between sets it felt like july out there. so good having crew stoked to brave the cold............so good.

so i mentioned that to my mom last nite, she pretty much didn't find that amusing and told me to store the boat for the winter Twisted Evil

she told me nobody else is out there doing that sort a thing......... Rolling Eyes

when i got home there was a special magazine waiting for me from the one and only labellethrasher cover boy......anyway there is a shot of him in a hood, gloves and a fullsuit which is prime evidence to support my case......... Wink

thanks motel! Smash

any audio advice still appreciated.

Raven, check if the input level for the aux-sources is too high. like in the radio (internal amplification for incoming aux-signals or pre-amplification of out-going signals). might be that due to an excessive voltage from of the radio, the amp shuts down or goes into safety.
what kind of headunit and amp do you use?
