Message: <blockquote data-quote="ancorp" data-source="post: 7455270" data-attributes="member: 633405">Been running my Mazda3 with its stock stereo and speakers, along with a line converter wired into an amp and subwoofer for a while now. No issues, using various amplifiers and various speakers and subs wired to those amplifiers.Today I replaced the stock stereo with a Pioneer deck. It sounds great with the stock speakers. Once I turn on, and turn up my subwoofer amp, it starts to clip the deck. It's as if the deck is not getting enough power to its built in amplifier. Turning down or off the sub amp cleans up the decks output instantly. I can crank the volume quite high before the stock speakers start to distort, but as soon as the sub starts to pound, the deck goes into clipping.Perhaps I have to wire my deck directly to the battery? Or would a cheap ground cable to the amp cause things like this?</blockquote>
