[QUOTE="Monos_Lykos, post: 4626371, member: 594432"] I am having trouble with a stereo system my father had installed on his modified Cub Cadet garden-tractor. To answer the initial questions, he rebuilt it to look like a train and drives it for fairs and birthdays. Now here is the issue I am having. Installed is a Pioneer DEH-1600 connected to a Roadgear RGCA100 2Ch 80W amp and Roadmaster RS900 400W speakers. At 45% volume or less, the sound is not bad but anything more than that becomes distorted beyond recognition. I double checked the impedance of the amp and the speakers and I checked the stereo's output power to make sure I wasn't overpowering the amp but everything seems ok. I simply cannot figure out why we cannot get good sound out of it above 50% volume. Does anyone have any ideas??? There was a previous stereo installed (I don't know what kind) but he burned it out after a couple of years so the tractor IS capable of handling a stereo but I am stumped as to why its current setup is not working quite right.
