I run a Panasonic Head Unit similar to this one.
The one I have I ordered a year ago and never saw it since anywhere.

And my subs are Sony Explodes. Again older ones. Two 12" 800 watt max that I got from a crack head, litterally, for 20 bucks :) in a ported box. Can I use like foam and try to slid it between the harness and head unit so it absorbs some of the vibration?

how solid is the unit mounted in your car? for example did you use a proper mounting kit and secure everything properly, one of my clarions used to skip when i cranked it and it would skip, found out it was a clip that goes on the side of the cd player to go into the basket. i can still skip it when i crank it at an spl competition but that's a different story. that's only a certain bass note that my car likes, regluar music, it doesn't skip no more

Thank you for supporting your local crack heads. You know the guy that CH stole those subs from is real mad. When a dirt bag stole my stuff I was real pissed too. When you buy stolen goods it just makes the problem worse. IT'S AGAINT THE LAW, AND HURTS EVERYONE. posted_image

Does no one else find it corny that someone with a log on "get hit" would post about a crack head he bought from. Inuindos, anyone?
