[QUOTE="Leonidas051, post: 8843001, member: 688960"] Hi all and thanks for the replies! Not at the moment. As mentioned, yhe factory head unit is just a temporary solution until all required connections arrive to plug in a new Alpine Halo9. The question should have been more along the lines of "can I expect the sound quality to improve drastically with a quality aftermarket head unit?" If the answer is no, I'll look into installing a LOC, thanks for the advice! Btw the amp is on speaker level inputs right now, hoping with the new HU and RCA connections things will improve as well... I'll need to reset the Gain once the new head unit is in so I'll look into that, thanks a lot! At the moment not sure how the gain was set, the whole thing was installed in shop...but good to know it affects things that much, thanks again! Boost/loudness or whatever it is is off, and the eq is basically a flat line with slightly increased top and bottom. Midrange is completely flat. Thanks for the advice on eq! So the setup so far is as follows; Amp- JBL Club A5055 Front- JBL Club 605 CSQ Rear- JBL Club 625 SQ Sub- JBL Stage 82 Power cables- Ground Zero (not sure if you have it in US, very respectable German manufacturer) 20mm2 size, believe it translates to 4 AWG, according to JBL amp user manual. The amp is 5 channel and I believe the HPF was set around 80Hz so should be fine... Incoming HU- Alpine iLX-f905D Thanks for the input everyone, still hoping it gets better with the final parts...
