Hi, I recently purchased a 3000 watt home stereo receiver (specs found here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/itemdetail.asp?model=PD3000A ) to which I connected the following speakers ( http://www.pyleaudio.com/itemdetail.asp?model=PPHP1290 ) at 400watts RMS @ 8ohms... the stereo says it puts out 300watts @8ohms, which seems like it should be alright to me, but when I turn up the volume the music skips. Suggestions on how I can fix this or what's wrong? Thanks, Jeremy |

JV, there are so many possibilities.
Either you wired ir right, but the cables are marked wrongedly.
Or otherwise, the thing is worth what you paid.
Have you looked in a htib thread? |

I've been looking all over trying to fix this, but no luck... I've tried switching polarities in the wires, and have had the system wired up several different ways (speakers on different/same channel, etc.) only other thing i could think of is the stereo says its a pre-amp which I'm not really sure is... |

3000 watts? With that kind of power I can't see it shutting down for anything ;-)
Did you buy the receiver new or used? |

yea thats what I thought haha I bought it "refurbished", I originally thought it was broke (for a different reason), at that time it was under warranty (it no longer is), it was sent to a tech place that said there was nothing wrong with it, I got it back and got it to work minus the music shutting down at high volumes, it's like the music is skipping, until you turn the volume down again, not even that high of volumes either, the pair of computer speakers I own are louder... |

JV, sometimes you only get what you pay for.
This may be the maximum capability of the system. |

"That's what I was thinking Nuck, that or it's malfunctioning."
3000 watts for $449!
The wattage is BS and I think so is the rest.
If there's any sort of warranty, send it back.

Not to be disrespectful or rude to you in any way Jeremy, but Pyle is not exactly known for quality audio or home theater products.
Don't they mainly do car audio? |

I won't comment on your purchase decision, JV, but the product itself is questionable.
Return it, if you can, and see wht we can all recommend to get good sound on a budget.
It can be easily done.

Yea seemed liked a good deal at the time, but obviously i regret it now... I'm mainly looking for something to play music through... do you think I should scrap the speakers too or use them with a different receiver or something? The speakers seem to work fine and sound decent also... although I haven't heard them at a loud volume |

Nor would you likely want to man.
600$ can buy you a nice receiver and speakers. Add some for source and cables, stands.
800 can do a lot, less if you are ok with pre-loved.
Hit the pawn shop etc. and have a look. |

Forget the pawn shop and go to a decent dealer where you get a warranty and return privileges.
How loud is loud, JV? I'm kinda thinking anyone who buys 3k watts is intent on disturbing the neighbors.

long time no post .. 5 weeks in China will do that to you.
If those neighbors were some of the regular posters here .. they'd already be disturbed ... |

Good thing the Pyle has an auto shutoff before the neighbours get to hear it.
What were you doing in China Bryan? |

Our company (based in Montreal / Trois Rivieres) is, like too many others, outsourcing to the lowest bidder. In this instance, it was equipment I formerly manufactured, before we were closed down in 2004. I was there insuring procedures / processes were followed and quality was not sacrificed.
A most interesting experience, I look forward to the next opportunity |

Actually, the structures .. they fit on the wet end of a paper machine, are about 3.5M long. I was there to completion, and saw pictures today of them in the shipping container.
I'll be heading to TR in a few weeks to review the experience with Engineering and Outsourcing. There'll be no dining outside by that time downtown. |
