My Alpine 7893 has a problem....no sound coming out of the speaker wires, but the RCA outputs are fine.

When I worked as an installer, we sold Alpine, and we sent bad head unit's to a place in N.Y. called United Radio....they did all Alpine's warranty work, still do I believe. So I called them about my Alpine, and they told me it's too old for them to work on (it's from 2002), they can't get any parts for it so they won't fix it. I was amazed, they didn't even ask me what was wrong with it! What if it only needed some common generic part like a resistor or a capacitor or something. Oh well, whatever....so don't take my money, lol.

So I did some Googleing and found this place called Sound Repair in Florida. I sent them a few emails telling them what I got, what's wrong with it ect, they responded in a fairly timely manner, answered my Q's, so I shipped them my 7893 today. I'll let you guys know how everything goes as far as price, turnaround time, contact with me, ect. It's $60 just for them to look at it, and he estimated by what I said was wrong with it the total may be around $85-95.

Interested to see how this turns out. Did you price out new headunit before you settled on repair? I would have to assume you like this headunit to spend this much plus shipping to have it repaired.

It's one of the better single DIN unit's Alpine made in 2002, it's worth saving. It has tons of features, and it's still in really nice shape. Even though I use amps in both my cars, I don't even run my speakers off the head unit, but I want it working right.

I got it back, hooked it up and it works fine now. Wound up costing me $100.70: $75 to fix, $25.70 to ship down and back. They called me before doing the repairs to let me know what it'll cost to fix to make sure I wanted to pay the price for the needed work.
Thumbs up for these guys.

he said there was no sound coming out of it, but didn't really say what was wrong with it internally or what part needed to be fixed to make it work again, lol
