That's not it.. I just wanted to get something that would be just right and
of course nothing was even close.
The rattling isnt that bad, but is due more to people banging around in the
backseat when i hit some nasty stuff, ruts etc...
I guess I really need to get some new rear panels, or rebuild the screw
holes or something.
Anyway, I have found that turning the "loud" off sure makes a difference in
the system in the distortion of the speakers which are rated to 180 watts.
The head usint is awesome, though I can't figure out how to change the
backlit display color(a featuer of the unti according to avertising).
Anyway its kinda kewl to have 157 songs(more room still available on the cd)
on one disc. Can make a hell of a kewl rocking disc between some favorite
country and some of the rock I listened to in high school.
I will prolly make some putty stuff up to kind replace the screw hole that
have broke ou but give the silly putty a trial run to help keep the excess
rattling down, thanks for the tip.
