    Okay, so I've this specific head unit in my car since I had bought it and am assuming it's been in there quite awhile. The other day I was playing some music relatively loud (Little more than half the total volume limit 36/62). I had turned off the music for a short while and came back to turn it back on only to find out neither my main system, nor my subs were working. I figured, "Ok, it must be a fuse," so I went ahead and turned it off and then check the fuses. They were all fine, so then I turned it back on again and my subs were still working, then I figured it was a loose wire. After popping it out the wires were fine, but the back of the unit was scorching hot. I took apart the whole unit itself before I could find the actual problem. I had fried something, not sure what it is though, of if it's at all, replaceable:
    (Here's the 'piece' and where it resided behind the metal incasement)

    If anyone has any insight as to what this is, how this could of happened, and whether or not I can replace it, or have to buy an entirely new head unit. Please let me know.
    Thanks

    How was the radio wired to the speakers?You will need to replace the unit,no sense trying to repair it.Were the speakers in the car original or aftermarket(that you know of).
