[QUOTE="Zrock2010, post: 8587600, member: 673479"] Ya i guess ill just chalk it up to kenwoods quality has stayed the same the whole reason i stopped buying it years ago.. During the install i triple checked everything and after the amp when up in smoke i rechecked everything. Lets just say this install has costed me allot more than i care to have spent some due to my stupidity.. Starting off with the $300 adapter harness and interface kit. Found out later they have switched brands to scosche and could have gotten it at Walmart or Canadian tire for 1/2 price. I actually went back to the audio shop and told them i shop their because they sell quality products not the crap you can get at a big box store.. Then when putting in my touch screen i was not playing close enough attention and pinched the rear speaker wires shorting out the internal amp.. Or so i though went out and got new one and installed. Figured i would give the old one to the GF so she could have blue tooth and i thought she only had 2 speakers anyway. Started installing and realized she had 4 speakers so i figured i would test the rear leads.. Hooked up the rears and realized that the radio was stuck in sub mode for the rear. After some messing around i found the reset button and unfroze the setting screen and got it out of sub mode...Duhhh... Then a few weeks later the amp blows..LOL 30 years of doing my own installs and having some seriously over worked equipment when i was young first time iv had any issues.. [/QUOTE]
