I didn't bug out but I emailed my elected representatives.

yes. all replies welcome and appreciated. seems like I got lucky then.

Unanimous so far. I think I will keep them.

So a few weeks ago I ordered the focals. Shipping not so fast, but they arrived. They are not the correct model. They are a slightly more expensive model and so my question to you is: Do I keep the polyglass 165 v30s anniversary addition? or do I ship back and ask for the 165 vr with...

excellent

I'm no expert but did you check the sub's resistance?

knee reflex is it sounds like a short with the component speaker wires. they could be nicked behind the HU or in the door. Sure, it could be loose. Only way to find out is to start pulling things out and inspect with DMM or get help. Almost everything you need to know disassembly wise can be...

heard these sealed. not as bad as I hoped they were. friend burned it up in 1 night.

power the remote wire and run the amp without the HU. that might help you figure out what it isn't. I would always double check ground. It's the equivalent of "check if device is plugged in. check if device is turned on" the two most valuable electronics troubleshooting tips. may help to...

Ah, I claim lots of exemptions and settle up when taxes come due. Taxes stay the same, but no/less free loan. BTW this tax credit is ignored by a lot of folks EITC - it's not just for families with children . You didn't need to have a kid last year, and it was refundable for those who didn't...

Where does the power stop? The HU is powered, are the outs registering on the voltmeter? Is your amp getting any signal? you continuity check the sub?

As far as electronics technician job outlook, its not as rosy as I was led to believe. I did that and moved on to a rudimentary electronic communcations program. No jobs around here and that school is still churning out jobless people 4 times a year. There are jobs in this area but not many...

I did, but I came back and thought I saw "sold"

Thanks for the feedback. I will pull the trigger on these or some other incarnation of focal polyglass.

Analog is fine if unit works. fractions of a volt shouldn't be necessary. I'd check the the fuses under the hood too. If you want to know what they go to, pull them and try to turn stuff on. I don't know if this can hurt your stuff... but I've done it plenty albeit without much to lose. Just...
