SlamminBeats Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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?

8ight Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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.

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.

b-dubs89 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also verify that any connections you have made or that were present before are tight and secure. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
