That is pretty strange!! I've had something weird happen too. When I was installing the first amp in my truck, each speaker started working one at a time. At first I got no sound from anything. Within thirty minutes the speakers started to play. First was the front left, then the front right, and so on. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen!! I didn't change anything wiring wise during this weird occurence. It was like waiting for the water to get back through the pipes after having plumbing work done on your house, LOL!,,,,98

Soundstream amp, BTW

You accidently entered the speaker balance test for the radio.
Did you know there was such a thing??
Kinda like the diagnostic self-test on the EACT.
I don't remember which buttons you have to push, but I can look it up when I get home.

This is bugging me, I thought I saw a post somewhere about a way to make your radio display show Rpm's. I have searched and I have not found anything about that.

It could be that I just had one too many jalapenois and hallucinated the whole thing.

I'm never about displaying the RMP's through the radio but I know you can display them through the digital odometer.

Ha, Ha, Ha. You didn't know you got the Stephen King radio option, did ya? I forgot about the self test thing but recall reading that somewhere before now.
