[QUOTE="slopecarver, post: 7014191, member: 603469"] FML, FMMFL, FM 2 weeks ago a thief took my HU, cracked my dash bezel, took the antenna adapter, wiring harness that was nicely soldered and heat shrunk, busted the dome light too. I was parked on a street in a NICE neighborhood ($400k-$600k homes) just so happens that where I was parked is between a relatively close lower income neighborhood and a basketball court in the park. I'll bet $1000 I know the race of the theif... Ordered another replacement from overstock.com, I figured even if it was a refurb it would work fine.... it doesn't, tiny scratches over the face of it, volume knob that is on crooked, and the biggest of all, major feedback from the RCA outputs. not even really feedback, more like a full volume 120hz noise. I know it is the HU because plugging my laptop directly into the RCA jacks in the dash produced banging basstronics from youtube without noise. So here is my plan: dash bezel out of a 2003/04 chevy s-series which has a 2DIN opening rather than the retarded 1.5DIN stock bezel metra 99-2003 double DIN aftermarket adapter faceplate, [URL="http://www.bybyte.com"]bybyte double din liliput LCD frame[/URL] [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=320-302&ctab=1#Tabs"]Sure 4x100 amp[/URL] Some mini-itx board, yet undecided liliput monitor/touchscreen, yet undecided automotive dc-dc ITX power supply, yet undecided. custom ITX/Amplifier case sounds way expensive to me, If you have any input let me know. Nothing like reviving a dead thread for upgrades. [/QUOTE]
