[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8704367, member: 650438"] reason why is all stock head units have their built in EQ curves along with built in high pass crossovers, yes even the rear speakers. They do that because they use cheap garbage stock speakers and they boost EQ frequencies and block bass frequencies to protect the speaker and make it sound better than it should be. Now what happens when you get an LOC like an audiocontrol LC2I? you are amping up a chopped up, nonexistent signal in the bass frequencies and now all you get is a distorted garbage weak signal thats not only sounding horrid but bad for your equipment health in the long run. Definitely swap the head unit with dedicated RCA outputs, 4 volts or higher, along with quality 24 bit dacs or install a DSP that can de-equalize and signal sum to give you a flat clean signal.
