Question
how do i do it im an amateur without getting electrcuted i have astuck cd in my cd player in the car

Answer
Hi Jef,

You need to remove it from the car entirely.  As long as nothing is plugged into the deck anymore, you will not get electrocuted.

Just keep in mind a few things:

- Once you open it, if you had warranty, it will be void.
- If it ate a CD once, unless the CD is warped, it will probably eat the next CD you put in it too.

Expertise

I can answer questions about the electronics and mathematics behind car stereos, provide information on locating wires, wire interference, gauges, etc. Since they're almost entirely subjective, asking questions about brand names may not result in the most useful answers.

Experience

I've been installing car stereos for friends and family (albeit not professionally) for 8 or 9 years. My knowledge lies mostly in the math and technical aspects: impedance, required gauges, fuse levels, frequency response, etc.
