Stripped my car of bumpers and such. Still have to take off door handles and mirrors and chrome trim around door sill so I can finish prepping for paint.

Snapped the mount for my escort radar detector. So I modded a sunglasses visor clip and now it looks much cleaner. Plus, the GA sun won't cause it to fall down again. Pics to follow.

Currently modding a car cradle which broke and then frakkin HTC wouldn't honor the warranty on it. I'll never buy another one of their phones, but until my contract is up I'm stuck. Grrr...

Default Audio Troubles

My factory amp quit working. (its the nakamichi factory unit)
I purchased a used one from ebay and installed it
.
Now it makes a constant clipping noise like a cd that is skipping or like it is being turned on and off very quickly. It does this thru the radio or tape deck or ipod interface.
The amp I replaced would just blow the fuse as soon as I turned on the system. Now with the replacement amp I get the constant clipping noise but the fuse does not blow.
It is the factory Nakamichi system with an ipod plug added. I wired in an aftermarket two channel amp to the factory head unit and it played everything clean but only to two speakers at a time.

I have not cut any harness or changed the factory wiring and the used amp from ebay cliped right in but I get the sound like a cd that is skipping now.

Any ideas?
Do you think I got a bad amp or is there something else I should look at?

Thanks for any advise you may have.
