  1. put strips of mdf around the edges of the box you want to seal off, set them back 3/4". That will give you something to screw the wood to and it will be flush.

    Or set it back however thick the wood is that you will make the trim panels out of

    i dont follow for some reason

  2. need info. thats like me say i wanna buy a car, pref american. how much power you need? what are you driving?

    the reason i didnt specify is because i could care less right now lol

    just want to see what people are selling

  3. if you got time , you could try to find what you did as far as wire goes , sounds like a pintched wire or something unplugged . or the stock amp has been damaged due being incompatible with your aftermarket h/u some how

    im going to tomorrow when i take my box out to round over the edges.

  4. The factory amp is probably clipping or overdriving the speakers because the output signal from the new head is stronger and the stock amp is applying too much gain. That's all it could really be unless you've done something horribly wrong or the system is somehow proprietary, make sure your EQ is on flat but I'm sure you know that.

    it worked for a day without distortion, factory amp, pioneer deck

    then i slid my tight fitting box in and after i turned the car on it distorted to hell. so i faded the mids/highs to the front, and its gone now. So maybe i squeezed a wire?

    either that or it was a coincidence that the factory amp took a shit? oh well once i get an aftermarket one it will be gone.

  5. what is the vehicle , i had a similar problem when installing a h/u in suburban , my problem was the rear speakers would be distorted due to there being a factory amp for the rear speakers and the higher wattage of the new head unit would overdrive that oem amp bad .the way that i got around that was pullin my own wires and bypassing the oem amp , which i had after market speakers any way , but if you have say a bose oem system , you may encounter speakers with some weird ohm load which may make it tough to run them with a h/u

    yea its not bose, but all the speakers are 4 ohm , except the doors, which are 2 ohm, probably so that the resistance in them is lower making them louder?

  6. Sounds like a wire issue being cut, pinched or grounded causing the distortion.

    Since that is all you have at the moment i would just leave it set to the front until you get a chance to upgrade.

    EDIT: You can run all new wire from the H/U to the speakers bypassing any stock wiring that would cause an issue for the time being.

    so it would have to be a stock wire or stock ground though correct? Since that is the only active wiring.

    and running them all form the speakers to the back of the HU would be a serious pain. My plan was to run my 4 channel from the plug in the back that has all the speakers wired to it.. it would be so much easier this way. My doors have molex plugs that are impossible to modify.

    wondering if i wired it like that if the problem would persist since it has to be a stock wiring issue. Obviously the aftermarket amp wwould have a new ground and power wire, along with a remote wire.

    By grounding out he means that a stock speaker wire is cut and touching bare metal at some point between the HU and the speaker. To fix that you'd have to trace the wires all the way back and make sure.

    You could also try flipping the front and rear speaker wires behind the radio and seeing if the noise switches to the front speakers. If it does, there may be a problem with the head unit.

    not the HU, i put the stock one back in, and the same problem was there

  8. Piss that amp off, if its the factory one, and run straight from H/U or buy and aftermarket amp,

    If your still running factory speakers then just straight from h/u no amp,

    Just make sure for speakers ar 3ohm up and not 2ohm as some newer car have

    yea im trying to get an aftermarket one,

    how would i go about running these with no amp?

    all the speakers are wired to the back of my pioneer already. its just how do i now delete the amp and still get them to run?

  9. So i have my pioneer deck installed and the stock speakers are there, and a factory amp.

    I randomly turned my mids/highs on and it distorts at mid volume. No warning of something blowing, just right on a cold start?

    SO i then fade my deck setting to the front 100% and its 100% gone. If i fade to the back 100% it sounds 100% like ass. What could this be? Factory amp sending a bad signal to the rear for some reason?

    Opened up the amp and it looked fine, nothing broke or burnt. WTF?
