blown amp?
Hi Steve,
Determining whether or not it is worth repairing really depends on how much
damage was done to the circuit board. If the copper traces are still intact
and there is just a bit of residue from the point of failure there's a good
chance you will be able to repair the unit inexpensively by tracing the
fault and then replacing all affected parts.
If the copper traces on the circuit board scorched away then there must have
been such a catastrophic failure that you probably would not trust the unit
even if it was able to be repaired.
The fact that a fuse did not blow probably suggests that either the
amplifier in the head unit consisted of a single IC, and it quickly failed
to an open circuit condition, or some form of circuit protection activated
if the amplifier IC failed short.

I can see that whole words are a difficult concept for you so I'll try to
put it into terms you can understand.
A JVC KD-S890 is a head unit. Inside theres a part that makes the signals
stronger. There's scorch marks around it on the circuit board. (still
with me?)
Is the head unit junk or can this be repaired?

look steve, this is a $400 amp 1 minute. pick of junk the next
hobby..thats why i buy extra amps when i see them cheap..
stop ya crying.
you can buy a good cerwin vega amp $85....
cheaper than fixin the burnt up piece of junk ya have.
