I know this reply comes very late, but I just stopped back in to the forum. Your problem has not happened to mine, but usually if that happens you can take off the faceplate and do a manual reset by putting a paper clip/pen, etc. into the reset hole. I would advise you go thru all your...

Sorry, haven't checked the forum in a while. No, never figured out the "Q" factor. Like you, I just leave it centered and hope for the best.

Rock-Fos Patriot Mosfet PT500.1 This amp fell in my lap after being left behind by an evicted tenant. Anybody have any info/experience/opinions on this? Thinking of using it bridged for a sub.

There aren't a lot of car installation places in my area, so my choices were limited. In addition to this place there is also Custom Car Alarms on Contra Costa Blvd. They're good, and they know what they're doing. I've had two alarms installed there with no problems and good service. But I...

Thanks for the reply. So, any suggestions on a good low-powered setup? I really don't want to add a mono amp etc, so powered is my preferred route.

Thinking about getting a Bazooka powered sub tube for my '02 Odyssey. There's no great place to put it/protect it/conceal it. Since the center tray/Honda's poor excuse for a center console is a rattly piece of $*@&, I was thinking about fabricating my own console/box and housing the...

First off, here's the build: 2002 Honda Odyssey HU: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X494 Amp: Kenwood KAC-6404 (rms 40w x 4, 500w total Max Peak) Speakers: Kenwood KFC-X173 6 1/2" coax rounds in front doors and rear (left the stock Honda tweets on the dash) No sub Lots of Stinger Roadkill sound...

Painting the ground or using undercoat is good. I like silicone sealant. Easy to apply in a controlled way. Corrosion=distortion/unclean sound. p.s. Unfounded and/or Overstated Genius + Condescending Tone = Arrogance (also known as the opposite of humility, and unattractive)

Thanks for the help. If nothing else, I should be able to isolate the Odyssey's multiplexed wire by process of elimination. The SWI install instructions are clear, so no probs there. I have plenty of knowledge splicing/soldering, dmm, etc. Thanks for answering my question about the ground and...

I'm installing a new Kenwood head unit and a SWI-JACK(to mate the steering wheel controls to the new HU) into a 2002 Odyssey(no nav/DVD system). Couple of questions: The SWI JACK says its interface wire needs to be hooked up to pin 3 on the existing Honda wire harness, but I can't find any...

Great tip. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Sort of what I need. Went to the page you suggested. Not sure why the call it a "wagon". The parts look like they're for an Odyssey, but the wiring diagrams at the bottom don't show the 2002 year. ??

Does anyone know where I can get a FREE 2002 Honda Odyssey harness wiring diagram. I just can't see paying for one. Any help is appreciated. Thx

Hi all. New to this gig, and only building a basic low-budget system for my 2002 Honda Odyssey van. Probably going to put in a Kenwood KDC-X494 HU and replace comps up front and coaxs in rear. Wanna get a low-budget amp (maybe MB Quart Onyx 4 chan) and perhaps a powered Bazooka tube sub. My...

Well, seems that everyone feels they're overpriced. I heard them and liked them, but then again, they weren't in my car. Don't know where to find/give a listen to the Phoenix Golds. Any suggestions, Bobb? Any opinion of some of the more readily available retail brands: Boston Acoustics, Polk...
