Hello guys,
I have a S8 Premium and i cant get the subwoofer to work.
So my connections are:
From the Atoto subwoofer output to the amplifier and from the amplifier to the subwoofer. A complete normal connection between radio and subwoofer.
When i connect the subwoofer to the RR/RL or FR/FL it works like a normal speaker but when i connect it to the subwoofer output like it shud be it doenst work.
I made a video trying to find the subwoofer settings and i cant find it, i have seen alot of videos where you can turn on/off the subwoofer, but in my atoto i dont have that functionality.
Can anyone help? Thanks guys!

Did you ever get this figured out? I found the sub settings but the output is very low even turned all the way up in the eq app.

Nice, I just ordered this one to boost up my sub output:

But I really like that 3 way one idea too hmmmm.....
The Subwoofer rca output in the manual indicates it at .5 volt. Most mid model head units deliver 3-5 volt output as you may already know. The best solution is to purchase a D.S.P or a crossover, etc. Line drivers usually have alot more than 1% THD. Most name brand types of car audio have become real affordable. I use a Rockford Fosgate 3.sixty.3 that allows voltage adjustment from 2-8 volts of output. Also make sure you use a good quality rca cable that is insulated and is OFC. I use Stinger 8000 or 9000 rca cables and Sky High triple sheilded makes a good set . They make a drastic difference . I had to buy a Y rca splitter as the sub output only has one out.
opps i forgot some links

I have the same issue. I have an S8 Standard in dash. I cannot get any "Subwoofer" output from the unit. IF I connect any 2 channels from the unit to the subs amp. It works only after I have adjusted the Bass settings in the eq. But I don't have control over the Sub sounds really. However, But if I connect the single RCA "Sub Out" from the back of the Atoto S8 unit. I get absolutely no output. So I got a T splicer and connected the single Sub Out to Both RCA inputs on the amp. Still nothing. I know its only .2v output from the head. The amps input sensitivity is .250v-6v. Its a Nakamichi NKMD60.4 4 Channel amp, Bridgeable. 1500watts max. Connected to a Polk Audio DB+ 8 Inch 750 Watt 4 Ohm DVC.
But I should hear something. The gain on the amp is maxxed out. And My amp requires two channel inputs. But the head only has 1 RCA "Sub Out". So what am I missing? Is the power from the HU not enough? Or do I need a Line Booster? Or am I missing another step I don't know about. I checked the HU Sub Settings and the frequencies are within range. But still no output from that Sub jack on the back. I have a PAC LD-10 Ground Loop Isolator Adjustable Line Driver Signal Booster+10X Preamp on order. Should be here Tuesday. Im hoping this will solve the problem. Any Ideas?

hey I am in the same boat with the S8 premium, any luck with the booster? and where do you mount it by the amp? or by the head unit?

Alright, may be a little off subject, but I need some advice. I am trying to figure out a way to hook up my htc 8525 to my cd player in my car. Unfortunately, my cd player does have a AUX hookup, so I am not able to just buy the Mini USB to 3.5 mm cable and hard wire into my CD player through the AUX input. Any ideas on another way to do this? The car does not have blue tooth integrated neither.
Thanks in advance!

No AUX input.. no bluetooth... kinda hard, but not impossible. Depending on the brand of your car deck, you might be able to buy an auxiliary input adapter. I know for sure that Pioneers do that. You can buy an "ipbus adapter" that plugs into the back of it where the CD changer would and you can route the audio from your phone that way. I know Alpines and Sonys also have this ability.
your best best and pretty inexpensive ...is to use a fm transmitter alongs with your Mini USB to 3.5 mm cable this is how I do it with hy 8125 and plan to do with my 8525 when I get my Mini USB to 3.5 mm cable

Interesting.. I have a Pioneer deck, so I may be able to do it this way! Will have to check the deck after work to make sure that it has that connector on it. Thanks!

Yeah, I thought of this option, just hate the output quality with an FM Transmitter. Thanks!
Yeah the FM quality blows usually. Go to your local car audio shop to get one of those adapter. They're about 20 bucks. I know Best Buy has them, that's where I bought mine.
Do a search for PIE Electronics Auxilliary adapter... if your head unit has CD-Changer control ( like my Honda Pilot) then you can get a PIE adapter which basically gives you an aux input. The sound quality is FAR superior to the FM modulated stuff. The adapter takes a dual-rca style input - so you'd need the 3.5 adapter into dual rca into the PIE. Works perfectly for me with my Sirius - and if I want to listen to my 8525 I just unplug the 3.5 from my sirius and plug it into my phone
Side note - if you get a PIE adapter - do *NOT* connect the ground. I know that sounds odd but I got wicked alternator noise with the ground connected to a good ground, go ZERO noise with it disconnected entirely.
i just modded the stock headset, chopped off the headphone wires and spliced in a 1/8" male audio connector and RCA outputs, i have aftermarket radios in my rides so i have RCA inputs..

Yeah, I checked my CD player yesterday, it does not have the CD changer plug. How did you do this through the RCA plugs I know my head unit has RCA plugs because I currently have my AMP hooked up to the RCA plugs. I just don't see how RCA can be used to take in sound and play it through the speakers, I thought RCA was for output. Maybe I'm wrong?
If you have that going to an amp, the RCA's you're using are "pre-amp outputs"- operative word being outputs... Most radios do not have auxilliary RCA inputs... I have a kenwood KDC-mp528 that does...
Look into _WIRED_ FM modulators
The same concept as the wireless FM deals, but without the interference and associated sound quality issues.
They basically plug in between the antenna and the head unit. when turned on, they completely replace the signal on the selected frequency so even a strong radio signal will not interfere.
The concept is well-illustrated here:
http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/car/peripherals_installation_guide.html?page=3
Prices vary by features, but they're normally cheaper than the wireless equivalents. Look for examples here:
http://www.etronics.com/c-2435-modulators.aspx
Hope it helps!
you could just hook the 8525 up w/ the RCAs to the AMP and have a way of switching between the headunit and 8525...
just an idea
bah. go old school. tapedeck-to-headphone adapter
lovin' my 99
I just got a new car that has an auxiliary jack that says I can play my music from MP3/Ipod players. I bought myself a 3.5 mm cord, plugged it into the HD and the Auxiliary port in the car stereo, but there's no sound.
Is there something else I need to do in order to hook my Blackstone up to my car stereo's Auxiliary jack? I figured the 3.5 mm Auxiliary port would just hook up to the HD's headphone jack as if the stereo would act as headphones. Am I wrong?
With mine, I just plugged the 3.5mm jack into the HD and every sound even phone calls automatically came through the cars speakers.
Try plugging another device with a 3.5mm jack into the car, if there is still no sound the theirs either a setting on the head unit or cable may be faulty.
Here is the cable I used, connected directly to the back of the head unit using RCA connectors.
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=172348
Hmm, does sound (sorry) like a cable problem. I have plugged the HD into external speakers via the 3.5 socket with no problems.
What you are aiming for should work but the cable needs to be right.
You probably have to go to the option on your car stereo. It's just like changing from the fm receiver to the cd player on your car stereo (except you have to go to aux-in).
Look in the car stereo manual how to activate the aux-in option.
If Headsets work fine on your HD this should work as well.
Then it's not a problem with you phone.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. I did switch it to the "Aux" function as opposed to Radio/Satellite/CD/Etc., so I'll see if my son's iPod Touch works or maybe there's something else I have to do with the stereo in the user manual. Otherwise I'll assume the cable is faulty. Hope my wife didn't throw out the packaging just yet! It was just a cheap $7 retractable one I got from Target. Next option is a 3 foot $15 one.
Also, make sure you connected the cable to the aux-in on the stereo and not the aux-out. This isn't always indicated in a clear way (I'm just thinking what it could be).

Yep, thanks for the input. Luckily it's pretty idiot-proof. It's the manufacturer installed Bose stereo system in a 2009 Nissan Rogue. There's only one input on the front face of the stereo panel labeled "Aux In". And you press a button labeled "AUX" to use it as far as I know. Pretty handy!
i have the same problem with my Alpine stereo,has an AUX Input,Even when i enable aux on the head unit still no sound.Taken it to my local car audio garage and theyre baffled!
Later said to me it could be a faulty HU
Ah, well I am used to after market stereo's with the connections on the back (rca connection).
Sorry that I'm not able to help. Well as long as you get sound through headsets and such it is not a problem with the HD, but I guess you figured that out.
Sadly those RCA's are usually outputs for an amp :'(
I'll test my son's iPod Touch today with the cord and see if his works. If his doesn't work also then I'll try a different 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cord. If THAT doesn't work then I'll have to assume the stereo is malfunctioning.
Another thing that crossed my mind is what if the headphone jack on the HD doesn't produce enough juice to feed into the stereo. Would that be possible? Although it sounds like others are able to get theirs to work, so I'm assuming the HD puts out enough.
Thanks again for the quick input, everybody!
when you plug the lead into the touchHD, you do get the liitle headfones show up on the topbar of the screen?
you havent muted the media player somehow?
you have removed the 100dB eurolimit on the HD output yes?
vol on the HD is around the 80% on both media player and general system sound?
AUX is actually enabled on the headunit in the car? on my factory fitted headunit, the aux button is switchable between the aux line in and an external cd player... if you have the manual for the headunit, have a look to see if there is this option
the headfone jack on the HD pushes out plenty of power, especially if the 100dB limit is removed (hd tweak or advance config... dont forget to disable audio booster and the EQ as that will really mess up the sound)
Hello, I've bought an android head units for my car because it's the only possibility. I can't use 1/2 DIN autoradio. So I bought on aliexpress the only head units that can fit in my Citroen C4 II.
I would know how I can connect this head units to my amplifier without using the poor RCA audio.
Can I use a USB DAC ?
Or a I2S to SPDIF ?
Thank you
Hi,
You can tap in direct into the speakers wires.....cut your wire 20-30-40 cm before your connection to the radio,and take one end into the amp out and the end coming fron the radio into the amp in.... look up high level connection on google.
Hi folks,
I bought this unit a while back and still have not been able to get any audio output from it.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002567795418.html
It's a V3 Pro with the SDM450, in the maximum configuration (6G+128G). It came with a RAISE CANBUS controller, so I've set it to all the various applicable vehicle choices in the factory settings and I still can't get any audio out. All connectors are plugged in, except one from the Junsun harness, which goes to nothing on the factory side. But the CANBUS cable is plugged in, so it should all be working, but still can't get audio out. I reached out to support, they suggested connecting the RCA cables from the harness to the Junsun unit's RCA AUX IN connections, but that doesn't do anything different.
Any suggestions? I feel like I may be missing a JBL specific harness or something, but everything I look up shows the same harness I have.
Best,

Hi. I bought an android head unit for my megane 2.2. All the sound is good except that my subwoofer doesnt sound like with my old Alpine player. I recently bought a bigger and better subwoofer, but its still doesnt sound like it should. I tried connecting to audio R and L and it gave a little more loud bangs, but more disortion. I have 1 subwoofer rca cable, bought a Y cable for it to make that double channel but its still the same disappointing result. Can I somehow make that work like it should or cant help that with these android head units. I want to mention that i dont have a subwoofer setting on the unit.

Hi!
If you bought this device in the link then Android DSP equalizer and output chip is to low to transfer bigger wattage to speakers.
One way to fix that is to buy external DSP output with more wattage then default android unit and connect amplifiers to this one, then reroute unit to use this external output.
If you have external subwoofer with amplifier try to decrease output to this amplifier in extra settings or factory menu (pin code) / sound. Output will usually be marked as speakers.
