Hello,
I have just installed a cheapish 80 Watt Boss BVCP9685A and a pair of Alpine SPR-50C (100W) in a Mercedes Sprinter using the factory wires. The crossovers are set to -4db. The problem is the speakers are clipping (or distorting?) as soon as I get to around 30% volume with the twitters sounding the worse.
I can improve the sound a bit if I set the source level at maximum (you can set the input levels for Radio/Bluetooth/etc on this Boss unit). Still, it sounds awful. I've also tested the speakers using the OEM stereo with the same result.
Why is it doing this? Thanks.
