wtf anyone had a headunit catch fire?


Recommended Posts

Pics in a few

I was just inside my house upstairs walk onto my front deck, and smell burn electronics, drop everything in my hands run to the railing to see smoke comming from the dash of my car

I don't think I've ever ran so fast, jumped in the car and uggghhh my alpine cda 9887 is billowing smoke and retarted hot

I proceeded to grab the deck rip it out like a theif and threw it outside, burned my fingers in the process

The rcas are melted all the way back to the amp in the back and the plugs are melted into the back of the deck

All I got to say is wow thank god I didn't have a car fire today

Anyone ever had a deck catch fire

That's kinda what I was thinking

but the rcas are completely gone on the h/u side of things

both amps are in protect too

Anyone had an amp send power thru ur rcas to pop their headunit, the proceed to smoke it till ignition

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Just tested the amps

they both play

I took the headunit apart lookes like a mini bomb went off right behind the rcas

And I can't get this damn burnt. Electrical smell off my hands

Well glad the amps are ok, bummed on my 9887 thoes are great decks

My buddy ray thought it may have lost ground searched for a ground then used rcas to ground..... when I looked at the harness it all unburnt but its just hard to tell, I don't wanna go in there for more than 10 sec smells like shit
