if he was talking about a fuse, then yes, without fuses, your car could quite possibly catch fire. But a fuse would already be attached to the amp, else it will already BE a fire hazard.

what kind of CD hanger? Radio tuner add-on CD changer, or one which is comptible with your current deck? If it's a radio-tuner CD changer, I guess it'd need power straight form the batt, so you'll need to lay an inline fuse. If it's not, then the power will come from your hu, and you don't need to believe the salespitch.

no, this is what it is...my car has a amp built in for the front and rear speackers...te guy ssaid that if i were to insatll the new cd player that it would be like sending a amplifed signle to a amplifed signel. and that would make my amp in the car or my hu to go out.. but when i nsatlled this by pass it did nothing. i check and double looked and i did every thing right..ecause i talk to this one car audio shop and he said that i just need the harness for the cd player to the car
