[QUOTE="pd1dish, post: 8363024, member: 595838"] Hey guys, I recently had installed a set of Alpine SPR-60C components powered by a Soundqubed Q4-90 amp to upgrade from my stock system (I still have stock HU btw). Anyways, after installation, the speakers sounded great and I was getting great power output (which is the main reason I upgraded from my stock speakers in the first place). However, I was getting a white noise in the background even when my radio was set to 0 volume. I had them for about a month and I didnt want to start messing with the settings on my amp so I waited until I had time to bring it back to where I had everything installed and they happily took a look at it. They successfully got rid of the white noise (by lowering the gain i presume), but now I have a few other problems that werent there before... 1. When the bass hits, the rest of the music gets softer 2. Power output seems to have gone down---I used to be comfortable playing my music at volume 28-30 and now I can crank it to max (35) and am still not happy with how loud it is 3. It seems as though the mids and lows are softer than before but this could be the result of the overall power output being lower but idk I am a little uncomfortable troubleshooting this on my own so if you guys have any suggestions on how I can tune my amp to maximize the power and fix the distortion I am experiencing, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks PS I would prefer having maximum power with a little distortion than to have spent $800 to not really notice an upgrade from my stock system [/QUOTE]
