Re: What PG amps are simular in size/layout to ZX450 ?

I'm closer to Syracuse than any other US city. Are there "better" caps that can be installed so this should not be an issue down the road ?

TTOCS - Did you just spray it with a can of clear from say Home Depot ? That's an interesting idea.

Re: What PG amps are simular in size/layout to ZX450 ?

Exactly, its the cost of shipping that has become ridiculous. Not to mention, sometimes Customs are pricks and they will tax you on the value of the amp and not the repair job. The Ti series is the exact same or close enough amp right ? But, is the Ti the one that rusts out on the cover over time ? ...

Re: What PG amps are simular in size/layout to ZX450 ?

Yes very happy with it, has always done me well. Just checking my options in case I cannot get it fixed. I am going to try to get it repaired. I'm in Canada so don't have the repair network like you do in the US. Not sure what kind of shop to take it to have it repaired. Local stereo shops no doubt ...

What PG amps are simular in size/layout to ZX450 ?

My ZX450 stopped working so I need a replacement. It needs to fit in the same install location , what PG amps would you recommend, roughly same power output or more , would prefer all the controls/inputs etc on one side. I'm completely out of touch with PG amps past the Xenon series so don't know if...

Re: Thinking of buying a Chinese no-name Android HU

I'm not expecting say Alpine quality but at the same time, $300 vs $1300 is a huge difference. Regardless I'll be brutally honest with a review on the product, from what I'm reading the quality is light years ahead of what they used to sell even 2-4 years ago.

Thinking of buying a Chinese no-name Android HU

Been researching around and the quality overall seems to have improved leaps and bounds from 5-10 years ago when most of it was crap. Now probably only 1/2 of it is crap. This brand gets decent reviews, in the videos the units seem very quick and responsive, not just the vendor but owners videos as ...

Re: double din decks

Did you ever try to use it with an Android phone ? I have an S3 and really all I want is to mirror Google maps from my phone onto the display so I can check traffic live. I don't care for Pioneer's built in nav or apps. Nobody local carries these so I can't test before I buy. I see them on Ebay for ...

Update: I went to the local BB and checked out a variety of decks . (Mom & Pop shops in town are rare and they don't stock anything so its impossible to test gear out without buying it). I went in looking to buy an Alpine but ended up with a JVC single DIN deck. Reason being is the JVC seemed to...

Re: Opinions on how to integrate Nexus 7 into car audio inst

Ok, lots of good options to choose from. If possible I would like to go bluetooth as its easier and no wires.... Is the sound terrible or just not optimal? My car is a bit loud so Sq isn't a dominant feature in my setup. As a test last night I ran the system directly off my phone (S3), used a headph...

Opinions on how to integrate Nexus 7 into car audio install

I had a Kenwood nav/stereo HU, it started to flake out earlier this year and lucky me I paid for extended warranty and got my $$ back, all $900 of it. Not bad for 4 years of use. So I started looking at my options and pretty much dislike every Nav HU available today. Compared to a tablet they are al...

I wish I was that stupid :doh: Those are a) buzzer sound and b) opening/closing ceremony mode, I've played with them just in case but to no avail. But nice catch none the less.

Re: Who wants to try and fix this ? Car electronics

Nah, not the fuse. I took those pics using the exact same wiring harness with the new controller so I know the wiring isn't the issue. There is no internal fuse in this unit, you're looking at everything under the plastic.

Ok so its not car audio, well it does beep so maybe it is. Problem is, it doesn't work. Not all all. There's a little blue LED between the words DC SOURCE and DEFI LINK to indicate its powered up, doesn't come on , doesn't beep. You're looking at a DEFI controller, what this does is act as the contr...

In dash Navigation HU's. What's good these days ?

Hey long time no see here, kids are keeping me busy. Anyway I have a Kenwood DNX5140 nav unit, does the job well and I like the Garmin Nav interface. Problem is the rear camera input is flaky and Best Buy says they'll refund me the entire amount so not bad after 4 years of owning it. So this has me ...
