Just bought a new Pioneer head unit

Radio harness was cut of course..

Did research on how to wire it up.

Worked for ike 10 mins, then it shut off and never came back on..

I took the head unit out and it was burning hot..

Still never turned back on, and when i turn the key on, nothing happens except the head

unit gets super hot, like so hot you cant touch it..

Did I just blow up my new head unit?!

Any help will be geatly appreciaited.

 

Yes, it sounds like you have blown the output stage, my guess is miswired speakers or a short in a speaker or speaker lead.

MM&Y of car please? 94

 

94 Honda civic ex. but when this happened. I didnt even have any speakers hooked up at all yet. i just wanted to get it wired up to turn on and illuminate. and it dod for maybe less then ten mins.

 

Pioneer DEH-P5800MP

 

Then my guess is the speaker wire terminals, [not attached to speakers] shorted out to ground or each other. 94

 

Do you think my head unit is fried?

 

Yes, a HU that just gets real hot is an indication that the output "ICs" are blown, [shorted out].

Where did you get it, maybe it was DOA, you may get it replaced under warranty. 94

 

I agree with FCM

 

I hate my life right now
