If a wire is burnt, any clue why it would work after being reset? Is it maybe shorting all over again every time it's turned on and off? Again, I don't know how any of that works so I'm just guessing. And it was a caramel machiatto... probably more sugar than coffee. Hahaha

Kind of what I was trying to avoid. Opening it up makes me a little nervous, hence the year long procrastination. Lol I know my way around installing but that is where my knowledge of electronics ends really. Was hoping maybe a clue of why magically killing the battery and pushing reset has it...

This is going to be long, please bare with me. I'll add cliffs notes but I like to explain a little more. A year ago a coffee waterfall poured down my gfs dash and over my DNX 8120. Immediately the screen goes dark, stays powered on but no response from buttons. A few days later it still...

I've been out of audio for a few years but now I'm back. I need a suggestion on components. Here are the parameters: -6.5 set -Handle 150 rms a side -$250 to spend Suggestions? Any and all help will be appreciated!

Yep, Hu comes on. Starts playing all sources. Sends power to all the amps.

If you can't look at the specs of the unit and tell if you can or not I'm going to advise that you don't. Going active isn't just something that you do and things just magically sound better. Even if you know what you are doing its usually a painful process of trial and error switching in and...

I had the exact same thing happen. It was an issue with my ground. I cleaned it up (corrosion like mentioned above), even moved it to a spot I thought was better and havent had it happen in over a year.

matching the body paint would be silver. so go silver?

anymore opinions? I'm very indecisive, even on little things like this.

with my kenwood DNX8120 all I had to do was ground the parking brake wire. No need for a bypass.

eh, thats exactly why the blue was kinda just a third option. not really sure i want them to "stick out" necessarily. i just like blue so i made it a choice. haha

So I'm going to be replacing my rotors and pads on Friday and I figured why not paint the calipers when I had them off. Only problem, I can't decide on the color. What do you guys think? It's the car in my Avatar. Black Duplicolor BCP402 - High Performance Brake Caliper Paint Kit | O'Reilly...
