    HU death

    Due to a mishap where the ground cable detached from the amp without my noticing, my HU seems to have died. The controls acted funky a while and the display dimmed until it winked out. Is there anything to look at before I just give up and look for a replacement?

    Nader

    I read recently that advance polls were suggesting right now, Kerry would get something like 3% more votes than Bush. Of course, looking at the last election, that's not a guarantee of anything. But the interesting thing is that they also asked people whether they would vote for Nader over...

    Replacing panels by HU/AC?

    Speakers underpowered or just crap?

    This is another newbie post, so if that drives you nuts please save the hair-pulling and move on :) I listened to some low end 5x7" coaxials in a local store (NOW actually) and liked how the low end Bostons (FX8) sounded. I decided it was worth an experiment at any rate and went home and hooked...

    Audio upgrade 101

    I just bought a 2002 P5 to replace a 1997 Corolla. This car has a lot more character (!) but I only really have one problem that is important to me - namely, the stock stereo of the P5 vs. the Corolla sounds chintzy. It gets loud enough for me and the high range sounds fine but there is no bass...
