So I just installed the pioneer head unit that supports 50w per speaker and I got 4 alpine type r speakers that support a peak 600w per pair (1200w total) . And I hooked the unit up connected to the factory amp, which I'm thinking was not such a good idea. When I installed they two front speakers they sounded decent, but it seems like the rear speakers are barely letting sound out. At first I was thinking it was the speakers, but now I think the amp to the unit is distorting the signal for the speakers. Would it be better for me to replace the factory amp with a pioneer amp to get these alpines with better power and clarity or is the factory amp not a problem?

did u use the rca outs of your radio to the amp. the amp cannot take direct line from the radio, mor likely you fried it why not just ditch the amp and use the radio alone.

Yea I feel dumb I just checked the sticky that says its better to use the amp in the unit, but I did use the rca from the radio to the factory amp. I could just get a pioneer amp for the pioneer unit to replace the amp under the dash right? Or would I also have to remove the amp under the driver's seat for better quality? What's your opinion? |
