The volume on the Z2 in general does not go as loud as i would like. Thats the first problem. Way to make it louder? Then when i watch a DVD on the move, it seems very quiet, with all the road noise. I have it turned all the way up and source level is turned all the way up. If i switch it by hitting AV and switch to the Library, it comes on like twice as loud as the DVD was (without changing volume settings) Anyone have similar situation? Solutions? Thanks.

what kind of car?

what spkrs amps etc? more info is needed

your unit does have a setting called sla switch to dvd the turn sla all the way up and that will help

2003 Nissan 350Z w/ Bose system, I bought the harness from Crutchfield that supposedly integrates the amplifiers, or bypasses it or something. Not sure what it does but it was a special harness because of the amplifiers for the bose speakers. Sadly the sound system sounded a lot better with the stock head unit...

ive heard that way to often! (my factory sounded better)

did the special harness you got have a box attached to it? if so did that box have little holes for adjusting the gains on each channel?

or is it simply a harness that goes to the d3's rca outputs? if its rcas then its the fact that the d3 only has 2volt rca outputs. if you need more volume then you may need a line booster! which is something i havnt used since 95'

Its a Z2 not a D3. There was no box or anything on the stock harness. Not that i saw. Just simple harness. When i have the volume at 40 which is all the way up, i would definitely not consider it to be LOUD. The stock all the way up WAS LOUD. So definitely some loss there.

do you ave a blue wire coming out of the harness? hook it up with the othe bluu one or the red. i had this problom in my expo. what it is, is the factory amp turn on is most likely hooked up wrong, so you have to power it with anther wire from the same harness. do you get what i am saying? i know it sounds confusing.

ANYWAYS im pretty sure ur z2 only has 2.2 volt outputs so if volume is ur problem then look for an aftermarket line driver. ur gonna need a 4 channel one. good luck

Go in and adjust your SLA settings. Turn up DVD and down library until they are the same
