Stereo sound goes up and down
My car is a 2002 z28 with a stock stereo and when Im driving the sound will go up loud and then it goes down and then back up and so on. Has anyone ever had this prob?

do you have your SCV (Speed Controlled Volume) **** turned all the way up? The SCV is the little rotating piece that is surrounding the Volume/Power **** that moves up and down. This makes is so when ur driving faster, the volume will automatically turn up, and when you slow down, the volume will turn down as well, to compensate for the wind noise in the cabin. Turned all the way up will provide the most dramatic effect, and all the way down will turn it off completely and the volume will be set at what ever you have turned it up too for the ride whether going fast or slow.

Your problem could be the SCV as mentioned above or if you have the steering controls they might be the culprit as well. I had a problem with my T/A going full volume randomly when I first bought the car. The Firebirds don't have SCV so I was at a loss. Turned out it was my steering volume controls.

Just seems sometimes randomly the bass goes wayy freaking loud with the rest of the range staying the same...
Trans Am so it doesn't have the SVC

I did because the volume on the steering control turned out to be the culprit. Actually both of mine were pretty wore out as the car had 120,000 miles on it. Replacing them fixed the problem and then I went total aftermarket with everything in it and never used them anymore. I could use the PAC SWI-JACK but just haven't done it because I never really used the steering controls so I wasn't used to having them. Plus I use my remote alot.
