Step 1: Let somebody else do your soldering for you.
Step 2: Don't double check it.
Step 3: Be really tired when you look at it.
Step 4: Miss the fact that your amp speaker out puts are being run into your head unit, instead of into the wiring harness feeding the speakers.
Step 5: Connect amp.
Step 6: Watch the nifty effects.
Moral of the story, I think I fried my Head Unit. I cut the engine and disconnected the battery as soon as I saw/smelled smoke. I took out the HU and it was burning hot on the back metal plate. Any chance that it's still alive?? Hate to have my dad (he soldered the wires..just missed part of my instructions) spend $150 on a new HU.
#@&%!&#@$(@#)%*@&^$#%$&!#@($@*&%#^&@$*%)(&^
of course, as with every project I get into.. there are always a million little/big problems that come up unexpectedly. That's what I get for trying to do this myself.
