I installed a Kenwood KDC-135 CD Player in my Echo. I have noticed
some strange problem with the sound, specifically the bass response.
When the balance is turned all the way to the right or left, I hear a
good bass response from the speakers. When the speakers are balanced

I spend a lot of time surfing consumer electronics (in particular 12 volt
automotive electronics) in Ebay.
I mentioned this about a year ago and those who spend a lot of time on Ebay
already know this, but the colder months are a MUCH better time to buy than

I have an old auto audio amplifier from the early 80's.  It's a Hi-Comp
by Audiovox, model HCB-820.  I had it on the bench tonight but no joy
getting it to work.  There's one wire I cannot ID. Perhaps it's the

This just started this morning. I drive a 2001 Ford Escape. The left
tweeter speaker on the door window began crackling as soon as I
started the car. I seen posts here addressing scrackling with the

I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3 navigator installed in a 2003 F150.  (Side

I've just had one of these fitted and not that fond of the RIpspeed
branded startup screens and background image to track listings. Anyone
know of a way to break in and customise these images? Can such a thing

Hey, all.
I'm looking to get the Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB.

About 2 weeks ago I installed a Sony MEX-DV2000 Multi-Channel/Super
Audio/Dolby Digital/DTS car radio in my 01 PT Cruiser.
