My headunit wasnt working so i bought a new one. A pioneer HU. I paid Senor Stereo to intall the radio for me 37$... While im there the guy tells me that my Mids & high amp isnt working. This was while the radio was out & all the wire was still out.. The guy wanted to check with me that my amp wasnt working. I cheked the green light behind the amp & it was flashing & not still.
what has me thinking is why would my amp get fucked up after the new radio got installed ? so i asked him ( why isnt it working & he said time ) those things happen. he was 90% sure it was the amp ...
what can it be ? Iv'e had the amp for 2 years & the moment i install a new radio it gets fucked up.
im thinking that the connection from the old head unit & the amp may have caused the problem & killed both the radio & amp... just my guess. =( but then again it worked fine for 2 years.
Doesn't it seem when you take your car to a CAR AUDIO STORE for a problem. Some how they find problems that wasn't there before(RIPOFF). That's why I only buy products and install myself.
if the amp worked when you took the car in, then it stopped working when they put in a radio, that's in THEIR lap to fix or replace. that's why they have insurance.
Ultimate Electronics installed a set of subs, a speaker amp and a sub amp for me about 1 1/2 years ago.. they did something to the 4 channel and busted 1 of the RCA connects off and it in turn blew the corrosponding channel, the amp is built to work as 4 channels simultaniously so the other 3 channels soon followed.. you know what they gave me for blowing my amp? LOOM! 1/0awg LOOM...
NEVER pay a shop to do your work unless you know the person installing personally.. otherwise they'll swear it wasn't their fault
