I just had a JVC head unit and infiniti front speakers/tweeters installed a few days ago and I have been smelling a burnt "electrical" smell that seems strongest under the hood. I don't get the smell if I leave the electric and stereo on.. only once I have been driving around for a few minutes. The smell is worse just outside the car or with the windows down. Anyone have any thoughts?

-Thanks

 

1ST THOUGHT should be to contact the place that put it in
not post a thread

good luck

 

i dont know hwat would cuase something burning under the hood for just a simple headunit and speaker install...if you are completley positive its under the hood, definetly take it back to the place that put it in...hopefully its osmehting as simple as osmoene dropping somehting plastic on a hot engine part...but definetly do it asap, i dbout its sometihng DIRECTLY in line wtih the stereo addition cuase if it was burning it wouldnt be working too well for too long..

but either way, get it taken care of ASAP!

 

Thanks for the insight.. I have already scheduled to have them look at it

 

That has to be the most mispellings I have ever seen in a single post. j/k

Did they use a wiring kit to install the JVC?

 

you must have not read enough of my posts lol... my record i think was 50 misspellings in about 100 words, when i was dead tired after working on a car for 12 hours straight lol

I don't know what they used for wiring.

 

I was wondering if it was an issue with grounding. I can't figure out why I wouldn't smell anything when the car is on but the engine off.
