One last question , I noticed that I scratched off a little bit of the top label on the retail CD from trying to feel the scratch, could this cause issues in the headunit while the CD is spinning?

Thanks for your replies

Oh ok, so if the song does not skip (which most don't) that means the laser is not having to avoid scratches and it is operating normally?

The two really small gashes on the clear plastic ring around the CD can only be felt on the bottom, but not the top. The third mark is definitely located on the top of the CD. When I tilt the CD in the light I can see a very faint outline of the scratch. When I lightly move my fingernail from...

Is there an easy way to see if the marks on the CD are scratches opposed to cracks? How deep does a gash in a CD have to be in order to be considered a crack? I think I might have caused these marks when I attempted pulling the CD out with a pair of tweezers. The first two marks on the edge of...

Hi, I was able to get my cd out of the Clarion by taking it apart. I noticed there are three quite small marks on the readable side of the CD. I don't know if they are scratches or cracks, my guess are two scratches. The first two marks are coming from the edge of the CD, one is 1 millimeter...

Are there any types of pliers that can be used besides Crimping Pliers to crimp the car wires with the headunit's wire harness? What about flat head pliers?

There are so many different USB cables so I'm just curious as to what the specific name of a USB cable is that can be used to connect a Headunit to Flash Drive. This would be for the headunit's that have a USB port on them.

You have your gain set well. I have had my whole car audio system installed time and time again (upgrades/replacements) by some great car audio installers. They have also set the gain on my amps. I wouldn't have to change the gain because of a new headunit model/brand would I? My current Clarion...

Is the volume range of your headunit from 1-62? How far have you turned it up? Also, someone claimed that their subs hit 143DB with a Pioneer 5100UB without any skipping.

That's the problem though. I bought an aftermarket Panasonic and it skipped like crazy. I sold it to my brother and bought a Clarion because I knew they wouldn't skip once and I was right, it never did. Now after 2 1/2 years of use (even though I seldom changed CD's) it won't eject CD's and I...

You were using a Pioneer for competition? The Pioneer Premier series by Pioneer was meant for competition rather than the Pioneer series. Here is a Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL 12" 6000W Dual 2-Ohm Competition Class SPL Subwoofer for $649.00, imagine using this with a Pioneer Premier headunit...

Nice, I don't really turn up my subs much at all. I listen to metal and have the bass set to -3 and subwoofer output set to -2. Instead of running two 1000w rms amps to each of my two subs, I am just using one 1300w rms mono amp. When I have hipop on, I have the bass set to +2 and the sub output...
