loganuf Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 hey. I wanted to ask you guys a question about my car. Up until a few days ago when i installed 0 gauge wiring in my car, my components speakers sounded really good. They are the stock components that come in the mach audio system for an eddie bauer expedition. They use to sound really good when i was running 4 gauge wiring to my amp. But right after i switched to the 0 gauge i started to hear really bad distortion when i turned the volume up. When i turm the bass all the way down they sound fine, even when the subwoofer isnt turned down. I dont know if its the 0 gauge wiring, something i did when installing it, or just a coincidence that it started to do this. If you guys could help me with this problem i would really appreciate it. 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition: Alpine CDA 9883 2x 18" DC lvl 4 D2 10.7 cu ft box 33hz knu 1/0 wire amp: Kicker ZX2500.1 Kinetik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loganuf Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 naw man i think i might have said it wrong. The 0 gauge isnt going to my component speakers....its going to my amp to power my subs. So im not giving them any extra power than i was before. So what do you think the problem could be? 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition: Alpine CDA 9883 2x 18" DC lvl 4 D2 10.7 cu ft box 33hz knu 1/0 wire amp: Kicker ZX2500.1 Kinetik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sounds to me like something has pulled loose. I would double check all your grounds and any wires along the path of the 0 gauge. I would also look at the rca's, U might of tweaked one in the switch. You will have more available power to the amp if the 4G wasn't big enough. But I would think you would see more problems with the smaller wire, not the other way around. Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
