Adventures with the new CD deck...

[ShEaNy]

Well im finally back after the christmas break from the computer....the only thing i got for the car was a panasonic deck...so far its 50/50 with it....some things good and bad....good: looks nice...finally i have a CD deck....etc...Bad: blew a fuse....(replace with double amp..7.5 to a 15), it gets SO hot when play for a long time....screws up when it tries to play SLightly scratched CDs........I still have to read the book..about how to set it up properly..it pumps the factory speakers pretty good...overall i like it....oh yea and its got a nice little remote...so if im to lazy to reach 6 inches from the wheel to change something..just keep the remote in hand and do it from there....hehehehe.....i was thinking of trying to install a real small fan behind it to keep it cool......anyone done this before?...think its a good idea? thanks....feels good to be back....Happy New Years to everyone...ill be away till tomorrow..leaving at 4....bye

[ShEaNy]

i cant remember the whole name..ill check later all the shit is in the garage..lol im to lazy and its freaking cold out..brrrrr

theres a reason they put a 7.5 fuse in, i'd check your connections, your going to burn your deck out fast if you dont figure out whats causing it to heat up

[ShEaNy]

well..i thought it was just the position its in...like 3 inches..below the vents....and i have the heat on always (winter)...the book says make sure its in a some where air can circulate....but this spot is the only one where it will go in...right where the factory deck..was....plus the book said i could put a 15amp fuse in for it....when i turned the volume to 35 on the 7.5 it just went dead...with the 15 i went to 38 but no farther....didnt want to blow anything...

Don't replace the fuse with higher amperage fuse! Fix the problem instead. Like Chris said, they didn't put a 7.5 accidentally.

mine gets pretty damn hot too but thats because its high wattage. i still use the 7.5 fuse but i have the option of turning off the players own amp and using a 4 ch which would keep it a hell of a lot cooler...i just have to stop being lazy about it and start ripping the interior apart to do it...im just so tired after the fiasco w/ the suspension i dont think ill want to do any "civic duties" any time soon:o

k so y would the book say....15AMp Fuse....:loco: :loco: .... what else would the problem be then!? **** i gota read the rest of that book..:paranoid: :o
