Here is my HU http://www.clarion.com/proaudio/proaudiofm.htm (it's the dx835mp) And as far as I know I guess I'm using 2 rca's for the fronts and rears or maybe all 4? Not sure about that?

Check it, I've got a 4 channel amp driving my 2 fronts\components and my 2 6x9 rears. Having that said, will this create any problems installing the self powered Basslink sub? If i'm not mistaken I should be able to hook up rca's from the sub into my HU and keep the amp driving my 4 other...

I'll have the answer to my problem sometime tomorrow afternoon after CC gives me the low down. I'm tending to lean towards eengrams reponse as to the fact an amp will resolve the distortion issue. I have pretty top of the line speakers and a decent HU and logically speaking my setup SHOULD be...

All the replies have been GREATLY appreciated. Thanks WS140 - Yes, I'm nearly positive I'm still using the stock wires. I have not done any of my audio upgrades, CC has done EVERYTHING and I doubt they run new wires?!!?!? Eventually an amp will be my next move but first this is going back to...

Currently, I have all bass, treble, mid settings set to 0, and all frequencies, gains... ect are at the default level due to the distortion at higher volumes. No matter what I have any thing set too there is distortion. I'am however giving it the bass boost at lower stable levels just to give...

Taylor - I see what your saying but answer me this... Why did a stock unit which probably put out no more than 20 watts a channel (according to you this would be maybe 5 max) sound so much better at a higher level than my new 53 x 4 HU? I'm TOTALLY not trying to argue with you man, or to flame...

Storm Yates!

Thanks for the help eengrms. I plan on taking my truck back to CC and have them look\listen to the problem hopefully on Friday. I will definately reply back with an answer. I am nearly 100% positive it is not an issue with the speakers being blown as they cranked and sounded great with the...

Thanks again, Blaze. So, I have been tweaking with the built in EQ and I have found without any EQ enabled the sound is a little better when it comes to the pops and crackling but without any EQ's the sound is just "there". Doesn't sound real good, no clarity, bass, space and all that. What...

Thanks for the replies. As far as I know, I remember setting all the ranges, frequencies, filters, ect... to the default levels. That was one of the first things I checked so I'm sure that is not the case. I guess I will take the biatch back to CC since I did pay for them to install, they...

I purchased a new Clarion ProAudio DXZ835MP HU and had Circuit City do the install last night. I have infinity 605cs 6.5 components in the front and Infinity 6X9's in the rears. No amps or anything... Well to my disbelief the new HU sounds like crap. The stock unit infact sounded better at...
