Former owner: 1999 Contour SE Sport Current: 2000 Eclipse GT There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way! Isn't that just the wrong way? Yeah, but faster!

You can find out why your amp is not turning on in a matter of minutes instead of guessing. Makes for a very handy tool when working on your car.
