So my deck quit working yesterday (alpine 9886) and i checked the fuse today in the back of the deck it was blown... i plug another in turn it on it blows.... i check all wiring make sure nothing has came loose or anything replace it with a 15amp instead of a 10 cause its all i had left it fry's it and then the deck sparks pops and goes up in smoke pulled it apart and the whole back side of the board fried im nervous as to get another deck put it in and watch it go up in smoke as well any opinions/suggestions as what to check for before i snag a new deck also recommendations as to what deck to get i would like to stick with alpine unless you can show me something awesome!

I would totally re install the headunit. use different wire and everything. then buy a used cheap pos to throw in until you know problem is fixed

Get a Kenwood. :thumbsup:

And maybe your obesity broke your dash and it pinched your wires causing your radio harness to short and kill the radya.

But he's not that big!!! I'm like twice his size.

Scoop up one of those alright Pioneers at Walmart. If it f*cks up, take it back and claim it was bad. Keep your receipt. :thumbsup:

I believe if you wire one wire on the speaker amp then connect rcas already you will fry it. Mine fried like that before.

The x303 sucks. I have one in my F150. It sounds good but the user interface BLOWS. I hate trying to find a song on my USB drive.

Hopefully they fixed that on the x305.

And I know he isn't fat. But he said he was an obese beast on Facebook last night and I think I made his gf mad when I told her opinion doesn't count.
