Running the Cable from the head unit to the location for the sub.

Part of why i took up this D-I-Y project was to save my panels. Most technicians have Zero patience and little attention to detail. By the time they're done you would have lost half of your clips.
I also wanted a neat install with cables neatly bound and arranged and passed thru the least obtrusive path.

STAGE 2
Subwoofer Installation.
No Audio system is complete without catering for the low frequencies .
Subwoofers give your sound a depth that is rich and warm. Augumenting the bass capabilities of the main speakers.

The Subwoofer of Choice in my case is the Bazooka BTA850FH.
After several weeks of research, this was a top pick for me, ..it was portable, performed well and could easily be taken out to make room for cargo. It also didn't require any complex wiring, just direct lines from the head unit to the sub, for both power and sound.

mavinc4u:
have they resolved the issue? if not you will need to provide every card number worth the value that you have loaded *card #: then the 16 digit number so they can check the ones that are locked before it can be unlocked.

I'm not even sure how to answer that. Lol, it's that crazy.

First off, identifying the card that ws locked wasn't even a problem. I just went through the gift card history and saw which was pending/on hold. It happened to be a $500 card I redeemed days ago. Even though i had redeemed a couple more $100s after that, only the $500 was flagged /locked.
I emailed amazon and provided a picture of the card and cash receipt before they even asked for it. I got some redundant replies and decided to go the live chat route.
I get on live chat with some lady and she starts going on and on about how the card has no funds and how the card isn't​ locked from thier end and how I have to go to the store to sort it out bla bla bla. The thing just tire me. Just when I was becoming despondent, out of nowhere the chat disconnects and reconnects with a new guy on. He takes a few minutes to get up to speed on the chat with the previous agent , and just like play the dude unlocks the card and apologises.
What surprises me is she already consulted with superiors as she put it, and told me categorically that there was nothing she could do about it.

But , Just when I thought the storm was over, I wake up this morning to discover that my account was locked or blocked or whatever.
Luckily the important items in my orders shipped yesterday. I have a strong feeling high denomination cards are red flags if you predominantly pay with Gift cards.
I just dey pray make my items deliver without a hitch, ..so until that happens I'm unsure of my current status. But as soon as it does, Na big Bye Bye to the account.


PS
I called this morning and they were apparently supposed to email me in 24 hrs, even though I strongly doubt that's gonna happen.in anycase I'm still trying to wrap my head arnd all this gift card drama.

STAGE 1
Replacing the Head Unit

the right choice of head unit is the first and most critical step in the journey of creating an excellent car entertainment experience.
It determines your general User interface experience; It determines the quality of sound outputted to the speakers and subwoofer; it determines the type of media files you can play and the ease with which you can play them. So the choice of head unit is very important to me.
After extensive research I decided on the Pioneer AVH-X4800BS. I chose this model for a number of reasons. I’ll leave you to discover the features, specs and reviews from the links below .(always read product reviews. Very helpful)

200k Firm.., AWOOF

This thread is a documentation of my journey towards creating for myself a car audio experience that would rival the sound quality of any good home HI-fi entertainment system. And when I talk about sound quality I don’t mean LOUD screeching noise that passes as music from stock setups or most Chinese contraptions sold as DVD players cum Nav systems down here. I mean clear, crisp , rich, high fidelity audio with the right texture and complete audio spectrum catered for. (Highs, mids, lows) etc.

For some people the audio quality from stock setups or most of the common DVD player replacements is satisfactory. But for an audiophile like me or anyone who is accustomed to and appreciates “High quality” audio at home or on the go. These upgrades are an absolute necessity. I hope this thread helps people with similar taste who are unaware of excellent options and possibilities.
I come from listening to audio brands like sennheiser , shure, vsonic , I knew I couldn’t stand the stock setup in my Car and I never even bothered to turn it on from the day I bought the vehicle till date. I didn’t even input the unlock code.

My Upgrade progressed in the following stages:
Stage 1-Head Unit Upgrade
Stage 2-Subwoofer installation
Stage 3-front speaker upgrade
Stage 4 -Sound deadening (of doors and door panels)

I will be detailing the process with links, information and pictures of the equipment purchased( speakers, stereo set, subwoofer, sound deadening material) tools used in each stage of this D-I-Y installation; The importance or impact of each stage, as well as the challenges encountered and the methods I employed to surmount them.

This Might appear to be plenty wahala and money, on a basic 2nd Gen Ex CR-V . But every time i turn the ignition and the music comes alive...I smile.
I also made the installation such that all the upgrades with the exception of the sound deadening material are easily transferable to a future new vehicle without altering any of the stock wires (no chopped cables, no join-join just adapters and harnesses).
and stock setup can be easily restored 100% to original condition ,

I feel u bro. Hope you av been refunded

finally got a refund after calling

tumababa:
Amazon is vexing

On a very major scale

3RNEST:
@bold....if I may ask did he scam u?

If I may ask, did you read Scam anywhere in my post.
Don't quote me if you don't have any meaningful input

DoyenExchange:
Thanks. We have refunded you for business transacted by 11pm. All the best.

You're such an arrogant pr!ck.
Which 11pm. I paid you at exactly 8.41pm,
From where you posted me to 11 pm and then refused to pick up after your 11 pm promised delivery time elapsed.
And in all the interaction you neither apologised for the delays nor bothered to even provide a reason for your inability to deliver.
Do you even consider that your timeline might be different from others' ? There is a thing called urgency.

I sent money to you first without worrying abt an escrow or any of that, despite not having any prior dealings with you. It's called trust. I study people's activities here before i engage them and you just totally disappointed. I asked you repeatedly and you affirmed you had the funds in hand, but here we are.

If you had sent your funds first and didn't​ receive your payment in 10 mins you would have bombarded my phone with calls and screamed scam!!, let alone 12 hrs without an apology or explanation. Get your act together.

Click on contact us then select you want to contact them about something else - select gift cards - other gift cards issues - select chat

You're a gem!! Thank you for this post.
Didn't even know they had a live chat. This is the most efficient way of productively interacting with these folks. Instead of waiting endlessly for email replies.

A $500 physical card I redeemed coupla days back got locked and i didn't even get a notification to that effect, I just logged-in to redeem a card yesterday and I saw that an earlier order required a payment revision. I was puzzled. I even thought it was probably one of the $100 ecodes I had also earlier applied. It wasn't until I went through my giftcard history that I was able to isolate that particular card that was pending/locked.

I no understand amazon way again

DoyenExchange:
$1000 Paypal loading...

You are fvcking unbelievable.
Deal with this dude at your own risk.
Of all the currency exchangers on this forum I have had the worst experience with you.
12 hrs after paying this unapologetic dude for just $70 Paypal he is yet to transfer the funds nor refund my payment. And you're here advertising for $1,000 .
What irks me the most is the id!ot acts like he's doing me a favour, and isn't even providing an explanation for the continued delay.
How can your receive payment for a thing, and for hours you are unable to deliver despite repeatedly affirming that you have the funds in hand. Just wasted my time when the are people with better rates readily selling.
