Lately, I was having a problem with my phone hooking up to my car's head unit. I would plug it in and nothing happened, no charge or music playback. I started searching for solutions and found out that my 30-pin port was probably just dusty and needed to be cleaned out. I took a tooth pick and managed to pick out a bunch of lit and dust. After that my phone would charge but not play music. It would also, while watching a video or playing music, act as if its docked to something and the volume bar would disappear. After a couple of days, now all it does is charge for a quick second then stops repeatedly. Ive tried other usb cords...nothing. Ive tried other ipods and they work just fine. The phone charges perfectly fine at home, in the wall and PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

[QUOTE="Eastdabest"]Could you guys point me into the direction of a good quality amp?Bozanimal

Yes, but I need you to answer a few questions to figure out what would make the most sense for you.

  1. What head unit are you using (model number if possible)?
  2. How many speakers do you want to amplify?
  3. Are you going to want to add a subwoofer in the future?
  4. You will need to do some significant wiring to install an amplifier, including running wires from the battery through your firewall, and speaker wire from your amplifier to the speakers in your door and deck. Are you comfortable performing this work on your car?
  5. What is your budget? A value (meaning a good amp at a good price) four-channel amp, like a Kenwood Excelon or Infinity, can range from $150 to $300, not including the wiring kit. A high-quality amp like an Alpine PDX will be closer to $400 or more, retail.

With this I should be able to give you some recommendations.

Happy gaming,

Boz

1. Its a Sony headunit, not sure on the model number. Its pretty crappy though. 2. 6 I think. 2 tweeters, 2 front door, and 2 rear. 3.Yes 4.Yes 5.100-$200

Yea I'm running it off the head unit itself, I think I'm going to save up for a new head unit and an amp, then worry about the speakers

Hey, im rolling in an 02 nissan altima. I wanted to get some good speakers. Not sure on whats good or not though, I need a pair of 6.5's for the front doors and and some 6x9's for the back. Im looking for some speakers with some bass to them (bass head). I know, getting subs is the way to go, but whats the best i can do w/o subs? Im not looking for crazy bass, just enough of a full bass that will fill car. I have some alpine spe-6000's in the front right now and some pioneers in the back. the bass kind of stays in the back of the car and the alpines have a "punch" bass to them and doesnt really travel upwards, it just stays on the lower part of the car. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I just need some help. For the life of my I cannot remember the name of a game. I believe it was for for Xbox and the PS2. It was a game where you were in a mall, and they gave you missions. Ususally to kill a certain person. This person was always heavily guarded. You would get random weapons like machine guns and shoot up the place. You guys have any ideas? It was made by rockstar if not mistaken.
