Hi everyone, my wife drives a 2007 Hyundai Entourage Limited with the "premium" Infinity sound system. The van comes with 4 speakers, twoin the front doors and two near the back seat, a tweeter on each A-pilliar, a speaker in the center of the dash, a speaker in the center of the roof, and a factory subwoofer in the rear.
I had an Alpine head unit installed ILX-W650 because my wife wanted Bluetooth and a backup camera. Now, when we turn on the radio we have a "hissing" or a static noise coming through, and the volume is way too loud. The installer says it's because the head unit has an internal amp and the van has its factory amp, so it's getting ampd twice causing this.
I'm not sure what to do, do I bypass the factory amp and install a power pack (which would probably lose my center channel and sub), or can I run everything off of the 6-channel preamp outputs from my new deck and just run everything through the factory amp as it was?
If anyone has some ideas as to how I can get rid of the static noise (it sounds like when your phone is hooked to a speaker with an aux cord and is turned up all the way) and make this thing work like we want it to that would help a lot. I don't mind spending some money to fix this but obviously I'm not looking to spend a whole lot given its a 12 year old Hyundai van.
