Dookie_Rx-8

Well iunno if you guys noticed or experianced this but my songs skips at pot holes, there not even the big ones.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix to this problem?

oh one last question....
I just added 1 "10 JL wO and JL 250/1 mono amp to the car:D will it damage the overall sound system over time?


thankz to whoever replys

I have the 6 disc cd changer and have yet to have it skip on me. I'd have that looked for sure

whosyourbaba

mine does that too. I kinda just lived with it. I asked the dealer, but they said they had to keep it overnight and I was like screw it, it doesnt bug me that much for them messing with it.

Dookie_Rx-8

it only bothers me when im bumpin a song then it skips and the car gets quite for a sec, its almost embarrasing b/c my friends are with me

whosyourbaba

yea, i also found out older cd's skip a lot more compared to newer and brand new one because of wear. I might get it checked out the next time i put my car in.

Haven't had this problem yet. I'm playing from a CD-RW too.

Is it all discs, or just one or two in particular? I've had this happen (on a different vehicle) when my CD's were dirty.

whosyourbaba

mine happens with some bumps. But when i have a dirty/scratched cd (old), it skips on every single one. But one normal road bumps and potholes, it would skip on a 50/50 basis.

My skips, mostly on CDR's but sometimes on the originals too, mostly when it's cold, mentioned it to the dealer, same as above, wanted to keep it, I said F**k it. I might mention it next time I take it in. I need the oil pan I've been putting off for a while, and since I had to give it up three weeks after my 1st wreck, I've been reluctant to part with it again.

whosyourbaba

ouch, 3 weeks! Doesnt sound too good.
Yea i mostly played cdr's. but i did play a real cd yesterday and it skipped. SO i dont think that would be a factor.

Dookie_Rx-8

well atleast Im not alone. I still play real Cd's and get skips whats wrong with it?

whosyourbaba

im just going to get my checjed out on my next oil change or warrenty. Im kinda getting tired of it.

Dookie_Rx-8

hey pls. post if you get it fixed
would help us with the problem alot

Kel Rx8

but i think only cdr's have skipped
i thought it was my wheels
but it started out of nowhere and a month or so after i changed wheels.

Everytime Igo over a bump or anythingthe songs will skip. Even on freshlymade CDs aswell as brand new CDs.

yeah I"m having the same problem. but i really don't think there's a way to "fix" the CD skips. I'm just going to look at some aftermarket HUs which has bigger buffers that prevents skips...

Just a shoty cd player. I have base system, and it skipps often, yet ANOTHER reason for aftermarket head unit.

ZoominRex

Mine skips as well. burned cd's, real cd's, doesn't matter

Raevik

I have the stupidly overpriced Bose system, and it skips the exact same way.

Around NoVA, we have some crappy roads in the more crowded city areas (Ballston, Falls Church, etc) and my CDs skip routinely.

The buffer simply isn't large enough (or the CD unit isn't shock resistant enough, depending on how you look at it) A stupid oversight in my opinion. There is no way to fix it without getting a different/better CD solution with a better buffer.

flatso

are all these the single disc players? I have the multidisc and do not have this problem.

RobDickinson

I have the 6CD bose system (standard UK spec).

Have been over some major rough roads, its never missed a beat with anything , apart from one CD-r which has a problem same track every time.

So we have alot of CD problems, has anyone taken their RX-8 in yet to have the problem looked at?

Nubo

There doesn't seem to be any buffer at all (no skip-protection). Oh well, hopefully soon the CD player will become as obsolete as a tape deck when I get an iPod hooked in. In the meantime it's bearable, just a little embarassing when you're trying to show off your new car....

I guess this problemis for people w/just the standard cd player and not the 6 cd loader. I guess if we want to get rid of the problemwell have to upgrade
