I purchased a vehicle that has a Power Acoustik PMD-83CM installed. I have no remote, or owners manuel and need to know how to control the volume.

Bill,

Directv remotes come with specific manufacturers and models built in. Newer model remotes have more products programmed in. If a product came out after the Directv remote you have was made, it may not work with your device.

Contact Directv to determine IF they have a remote that WILL work with ALL of your devices, or not. If they do not, you will need to either use multiple remotes or purchase a universal / learning remote that WILL.

Here, use the following link. It will take you to the troubleshooting on page 36. I hope this helps, let me know if you still have any problems.

Hello miles_jamike,

Power Acoustik recommends a 1.25 CuFt sealed and 2.0 CuFt ported enclosure for the P1, P2 and P3 subs. The PSQ needs 1.25 sealed and 1.75 ported. In physical size, this translates into about 16X12X14 for sealed and about 30X42X15 ported.

You should try to stay pretty close to the recommended enclosure volume for best performance. A good volume calculator is located here on the12V.com website. Just enter the proposed width, height, depth, and material thickness and click the "=" to get the CuFt.

If you are building (or having built) a custom enclosure for a specific location in your vehicle, all you need to do is stay very close to the volume recommended.

If you intend to purchase a generic enclosure, the Goldwood shown here at Parts Express is an exact fit. Atrend also makes good generic enclosures, their model 12SAL in a sealed box with 1.20 CuFt and the 12LSV ported with 2.50 CuFt would be good choices.

Crutchfield has both generic and custom enclosures made by JL, MTX, QLogic, and Bass Slammer. Crutchfield has excellent support. They will respond promptly and positively to your phone or email inquires. If you have never ordered from them, you can use a "friend referral code", such as mine, which is: p7sdj-hrx8q-9800g, and on any order of $200 or more, you receive a $20 discount. And I get a $20 credit on a future order. Also, many orders qualify for free shipping.

Hope this helps.

he has to buy a mounting kit and wiring harnest for your car so it will fit in right. when he buys that there will be instructions that come with it. i hope this helps

the spindal on the motor could be bad, could have bad transverse motor or even a bad laser., had to say with out seeing it do it.

I know the Power Acoustik inside and out.

I had to reseat all the connectors inside the Unit. The wide white ribbon cable going from the DVD player to the circuit board was the main problem. I dont know if it will help you, but it did it for me.
