I have the EQ on because I use it with the headphones as well. I'll try it without. I copied Doggystyle at a higher bitrate last night and that also seemed to help. The bass isn't as overpowering and no distortion so far.

I have several different formats and bitrates. Most of them are the standard itunes m4p files. I just got this thing last week so I haven't messed around with the itunes settings much. I'll check out the bitrate. Thanks.

Is anyone running an ipod mini through the aux input on the Eclipse 8454? It sounds like garbage. There is way to much bass and even at low levels it is distorting. If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix this it would be appreciated.

Don't know if you are still monitoring this thread but I have a 98 Concorde with the same problem. I made a small cross slit in the rubber surround for the throttle cable. Ran some 4 gauge through it about a year ago with no problems so far.

Where can you put kick panels for front 5 1/4 speakers? I thought it would be easy with small drivers but the 2 spots I wanted to put them are no good.

Thanks for all the input. I think I'll take a look at the RE XXX 6.5.

Are the RE XXX 6.5 available separately. Or only as a whole system? Who sells them online.

I paid around $300 for my current set up. I guess what I really want is more mid-bass. So even a new mid with my current tweet would sound better.

They are crossed over on my Eclipse 8454. Powered by my Eclipse PA5422. I believe 85 watts rms X 4.

Well obviously that kind of money is a problem. I am not competing, just want some nice sounding speakers. So just to clarify. $2000 and under.

I have been using my 5 1/4 Eclipse components for 3 years now and would like to upgrade. I am crossing them over on the HU so all I would need are the mid and tweet. I'm sure most sets have the cross over I just don't need it. The Eclipse mid kinda sucks now that I am running only fronts and a...

My car is a 98 Concorde. I was thinking about the front mounted subs because the bass sounds separate from the rest of the music (Don't know if that make sense). There is also way to much high freq. I still have to mess with the Parametric EQ. I have no idea where to start. The microphone that...

I bought an Eclipse CD8454 last week and hooked it all up. It sounds pretty good but not good enough on pro mode. I was thinking about getting rid of my Xtant 12 and getting some smaller subs to mount up front. The problem is the only ones I have seen that are small enough are Focals. These are...

Just bought a 8454. Just waiting for it to get here. samohtm, if for some reason this one doesn't work out I will be interested in yours.

I lost my manual and need to know how to cancel the key CD. I am selling this HU and need it cancelled before I advertise it.
