Hi folks,

My after market JVC head unit went dead, wont give me back my CD...damnit..

I replaced the bose speakers in the rear, with cheapy 6X9's and now need a head unit for my 1989 vert.

For my Birthday, my kids got me a off brand head unit "single din" has some sort of DVD screen like 3'' in the middle, i despise it. At night the glare from the *****, and off button, horribly distract me while i drive.

i took it back....not for me.

Any suggestions, all i want is a simple CD player, few frills, and no annoying glares....any suggestions? around 150 to 200...

thanks

JVC has an emergency button for removing stuck cd's.
It's in the manual.

Check the fuse in the back of the deck, above the power plug.

Thanks, I went with the pioneer, un-plugged one, plugged in the other, heres my problem, Everything sounded fair, with the 6X9's in the back, i used the wires that were there...?? i cut the pink/and brown wires, and just used the speaker wires.

Soo i decided to pull the door panels off, unbolted the bose unit, fished the wires off the unit, cut the pink/black wires...wired up some front speakers....sounds good....then..the head unit cuts off...and then on??
It will play at lower volume, but turn it up...and it starts cutting out?

So i reckon i cant use the exsisting wires...why did the back speaker work?..then when i wired up one front speaker, everyting sounded ok..then the last speaker...it went kapooey?
