Yes, I have a JBL 60.4 driving the front components (JBL607c) and the rear coaxials (JBL 637).

ok so when you do your checking first just use the HU and the speakers. then if that is ok introduce the amp.

my major doubt will be the speaker wires from the amp. as they will be touching the chassis of the car.

I agree but given it is the monsoons in India a little water vapour i the amp can also be an issue.

Navin, how do we disable amp from the set-up and just check the speakers? this can done from HU settings? or manually disconnect the amp? It would be interesting to know.

[navin]

no no. just disconnet the amp from the speakers. then run a set of wires from the Hu to the speakers. for this sort of work my installer just runs wires outside the car. we ae just eliminating all possibilities.

I suspect one or more of your wires are touching the car's chassis. Maybe at the end where you connect the speakers, physically. Please do not switch on the amplifer. You may cause further damage or even a fire.

Shucks, that sounds scary!!! I'm not touching the stereo till I get time to have the installer look at it this weekend... will ask him to run a full wiring check pronto.

Thanks a lot for the advice guys, as usual... where will I be without u all around

till then dont switch on the HU, or remove the face plate to be on the safer side.

hi navinji,

i have been looking around for the caps since 3 days but couldn't find them. dont know what to do now. maybe I'll ask some one in delhi to find out or when i go to delhi, i will look around for the caps my self. i wish i was living in a place where all the stuff is available off the shelf lol. This is the one and ony reason why i dont like india. :(

LBM, do you know from where can i get electronic components like caps, resistors etc in Delhi or around?

cheers

Clip, I cant beleive you cant find them in Delhi. I have been to Delhi and it is not a small town. I have never been to Jalandhar or Faridabad though.

navinji, what i meant to say was i couldn't find the caps in jalandhar so i would ask some one in delhi to look for them.

im very frustrated because of nonavailability of good quality components in punjab. i wish i knew a dealer in some other city like delhi or bombay who could send me the stuff i want. :( i feel like going to delhi right now. lol

cheers

in delhi there is a very huge market called lajpat rai market oposite redfort you can get any electrical component there very easily...even in faridabad we source it for there..

[Sam Kapasi]

Yes, I agree. In and around the area of Bhagirath Place and Chandni Chowk, you will find lajpatrai market. This is an area, quite simliar to Mumbai's Lamington Road.
You can find whatever components you seek, here.

[clipto333]

so that means i will definitely have to go to delhi. my wifey is forcing me for a delhi trip. good for me he he he.

navinji, how do you stock your electronic components? what i mean to say is for e.g. if you are at a place where good electronic stuff is available would you buy what you need or buy some other stuff as well so that you dont have to come again and again? when i go to delhi, i would like to buy stuff that i need and the stuff i might use in future but i dont know what to keep stock of. i hope you understand what im saying.

cheers
