    What would cause my face plate display to stop working?

    It's the ribbon cable. Every Kenwood with the rotating face will eventually need a new one, and thats why they dont make those decks any more. Any repair shop whould be very familiar with that problem.

    CONVERTIBLES ONLY ( CAR AUDIO )

    Yes I do install for a living, and I wanted to make this one look like it was "factory". This particular box is approximatly .9 cubic feet which is about perfect for the Kicker sub, and is about as big as you can go and still retain a good amount of strorage. The bass sounds great with the top...

    CONVERTIBLES ONLY ( CAR AUDIO )

    This is my brothers 99 Cobra that I installed a system in. He has a Kenwood KDC-617 CD player, Memphis 4x50 watt 4 channel amp, Memphis 250 watt mono amp, a Kicker L5 10" sub, and I added two sets of Memphis passive crossovers to the factory speakers when I bypass the factory Mach amps. I built...

    another (but different) wire harness Q

    Do not use the dimmer wire, just the illumination wire. The dimmer wire changes voltage as you adjust your dimmer and can cause problems with some radios.

    wiring harness help

    There are two remote wires because there are two amps. You need to connect them together, but you will also need to add a 1500 ohm resistor between the aftermarket deck remote wire and the two remote wires on the aftermarket harness. If you don't do this you will get a very loud and annoying...

    MY 2000 Stang sounds sad

    I would start by gutting all the wires that are currently in the car, and buy two sets of Infinity reference 5x7's, and run new wires from the deck to the speakers. The Reference Infinity's sound great off deck power, give you the best bass possible without a box or amp, and sell for about...

    Static in Shaker 500 (2007 GT)

    That would be the Mach 1000 system from the pre-2005 vehicles. The shaker 500 has no subs in the trunk, only in the doors. The shaker 1000 has subs in the trunk as well as the doors, but only has two amps I believe...

    Static in Shaker 500 (2007 GT)

    You first need to find out if the noise is coming from the woofers in the door, or the 5x7 speakers located just above the woofers as well as in the rear decklid. The woofers run off an amp, whereas the rest of the speakers run straight from the deck. If its only coming from the woofers, you...

    Amp Install Question

    I normally use the accessory wire that is found in the factory radio plug. I can't remember the color, but if you have a test light you can find it. The other option is to use a constant 12v wire and install a switch.

    2002 Mustang GT - Installing Sony Head Unit to Mach 1000 System

    Connect the 2 blue wires on the metra harness to the blue with a white stripe wire on the aftermarket radio harness. You will also need to add a resistor inline on the blue/white wire. 1000k will work, I usually use 1500k. If you don't use a resistor the turn-on pop is pretty loud. Next, connect...

    2000 Mustang Sound System - No Volume

    Sounds to me like the factory amps aren't turning on, assuming all the equipment that you reinstalled is the same that was originally taken out. Some factory amplifiers will pass a small amount of sound even if they are not turing on.

    whinig noice, bad ground?

    If you are still using the Mach amplifiers, then you need to have a line level adjuster installed to lower the signal going to the factory amps. This is a common problem with some Mustangs that have a aftermarket stereo installed using the factory Mach amps. The line level adjuster is simply a...
