    Adding amps to factory infotainment system question

    So I've never used an LOC before, just the output from an aftermarket head unit. So are the passive rca (kicker) going to act like the aftermarket outputs or different? Also how big of quality difference would an active LOC really add? The hertz sounded incredible in my old car with the 4v...

    RCA Preouts question/help

    Ok need some easy quick help. I need to know if I should use the Front and Read preouts for bridged front components. I'm running a JL 400/4 "bridged" to my Hertz Centro components. My Kenwood unit has 3 preouts (4v) so yeah. I have the fronts bridged, right side to channel 1/2 and left to...

    New install distortion issue

    I did get a Kenwood HU this last weekend and there is a difference so the crappy HU was the first part of the issue.

    Thanks everyone, and I know better than to buy a crappy HU but was rushed and NOTHING else in stock and was lazy so the double din slide right in. So I did try a few things last night and nothing helped so it's new HU time. I dialed the amp gain to almost 0, turned the HU to 35, then slowly...

    So the HU just sounds like the weak link so maybe this weekend I just return it and get something better. What should be the main thing I need to get in a new HU? High volt preout? More bells and whistles? Not fully sure what a different HU will offer that this one is lacking since I'm using...
