There's a few things you can try. You need to isolate the problem. From this point, and forward, only look at the screen on your laptop. If you're using an external display of any kind, it may not come on until later in the startup process. You need to see everything that's going on. Log into...

Have you thought about getting an Infinity amp? They make Kappa amps that should be the match to your speakers.

The right way to do this, is to get an endorsement for your home owners or renters policy. I know you got some conflicting info, but it most likely came from non licensed people in the office, like a secretary. There's a few exceptions, but for the most part, its not legal for do discuss...

"Anyway, I want to play my music off some type of SD card (the exact form factor does not matter)." Does it have to be some type of SD card, or can it be something like a usb flash drive? Bestbuy has the Kenwood DPX702BH on sale. It should do everything you need. The regular price is $200, but...

I agree. The fact that I've been on this website for several days now and still posting, confirms that I'm a D-Bag. For the most part, you have to assume a car audio website is going be amateur hour with a bunch of kids that don't know they're *** from their elbow. How else can you ignore the...

"Gotta get the Jetta aligned so I'm interested in this as well." The answer is simple. Take it to a place that will do it right, and pay them whatever they get. If you can't do that, then just don't do it. If you're off just a little bit, it won't take long to ruin your tires. You can listen to...

I guess they're OK with 2nd place.

There's no way you can do a good wheel alignment by hand. If it comes out right, it will be purely accidental. You can't just eye things up. If that were true, I would never have bought a 50k alignment machine, and a matching lift. Here's a few problems you may run into. You must first do a...

Try disconnecting both battery terminals and let the car sit for about 15 minutes. Before you re connect the terminals, hold them together for 10-15 seconds. I'm guessing its a 50-60% chance to fix the problem, but its free and easy to try.

Its not clear if you are trying to insult me as well. Unlike the other jackasses that only know to run their mouths, I'll wait for clarification.

Pure genius. Is it possible to blow your amp up if you touch the speaker wires? In this case, the resistance has nothing to do with audio equipment.

I'm done apologizing for a simple typing error. FU. (If I missed anyone, let me know and I'll get to you as well)

"1) Impedance is not resistance; it's impedance, resistance is reserved for DC current. Impedance, in regards to car audio subs ratings, is typically a nominal measure of how much an AC current is "impeded" by the load. " Like I've already stated, in context of this discussion, the industry...

In the context of this discussion, its not an issue. When discussing the AC circuit between the amp and speakers, the audio industry uses the terms resistance and impedance interchangeably. Shredder1 is correct. There's really no reason to split hairs here. We'll just end up confusing the OP.
