Factory RGB wetsounds HELP

Recommended Posts

My 2019 M235 has factory RGBs. from new the Sound to light feature has never worked unless you have the volume extremely low, Once you crank up the stereo the RGB's go a solid colour . there is a gain setting for it in the RGB Menue 0-6.  it has to be on 0 to get it to work in the low volume anything above 0 and rgb's go solid . if it had a Negative gain I feel it would work but this is not the case . the RGB controllers Audio supply is connected through a wetsounds box ST-DC-OEM.   via a 3.5mm jack and 2x phonos . I cant find much info on this unit but feel this is where the problem lies, Its been into the dealers several time but this has never been resolved they have spoke to malibu with no luck .   any help appreciated or a contact for wetsounds Technical .   I know its not the end of the world but just like things to work and and its bugging me. Thanks

Do the lights work in any of the other non-music modes? I would suspect the CAN Bus before the audio interface. Besides the CAN, theres the LED controller and the screen. Not much to the system.

All the lights work in other modes just the sound to light super sensitive. if I unplug the 3.5mm jack on the ST-DC-OEM it totally knocks out the sound to light but all other modes still work.

Sounds like the other end of that audio cable might be connected to a full-range speaker output. IMO, these are way to sensitive. I prefer the woofer output for its more narrow range = less light activity.

Going to run a little cheap experiment and put an inline gain controller before it hits that module see what it does
