Im absolutley stumped
Ok so when i bought the car the factroy fitted stereo wouldnt work, when power was pushed it wouldnt light up and i would just get crackeling not sure how to spell that but yeh crackeling from the front speakers.
Mums buying me a 500 dollar kenwood flagship model for my birthday, til then i decided to buy a cheapo from cashies 49 dollars TESTED working and I bought the converter harness for the stocko harness to kenwood adapter.
ok just you guys can tell me if i went wrong anywhere ill go step by step.
1 remove radio surround and ashtray housing
2 remove stock cassette player
3 attached factory to iso addapter and attached iso to kenwood adapter
and 4 where it all went down hill pluged in the the stereo and straight away without turning on acc i got crackleing, the stereo's heatsink heated up like a motherf****r and blew the interior light fuse and just left me stumped.
wat gets me is it powered up and everything for like 15 seconds and died.
i thought doged fuse so i replaced tried again, powered up, heated and blew another fuse.
any help is appreciated



Cars, a love hate relationship

one/both of the front speakers might be shorting out, check speaker wiring etc, dont keep plugging in the head unit you'll fk it.

Redo the wiring,

Earth. Find a metal point behind the face plate.
Speakers. Run new speaker wire.
Power wire. First tap into the Cigarette lighter first, if that doesnt work then run a new power wire as a test from the battery (be carful here)
Memory wire. (not essential for testing) Run a new one, bit tired here so cant remember if the cigarette lighter is accessory or permanent power.

If that doesnt work the head unit amp is my main suspect.

Ciggy is acessories, at least it is on my ed.

Yea that's what i thought, just couldn't remember.
Cheers mate.
