Depending on what source you are tapping into, your amp may not being full signal. By that I mean the stock radio has crossover points.

How were the gains set? I bet the gains weren't set right. In case of issues always CHECK WITH YOUR INSTALLER first.

Have you used google to find the unit you purchased? It is hard for us to help if you won't help us. Perhaps contacting your friend(the installer) or a shop is in your best interest and is highly recommended.

this sounds more and more like it was "hacked together" please take your car to a reputable shop or a reputable forum member in the area and do not let your "friend" install in your car any longer.

Why is it behind the door panel? Not a good place for it to be.

Oh boy, the plot thickens...

You may want do go completely over the entire install. It seems that it was not done right the first time.

The last thing you want is to burn your gear up....

There is no problem in having a friend install gear for free....

as long as they know what they are doing.

But hey, look at it this way, you learned something today.

 

[stay_high 10+ year member]

Well he says he has and seemed like he knew what he was doing but i guess he didnt. He even turned the bass boost on the amp all the way up. I knew that was wrong when i saw him do it. I only knew him like 3 months prior to the install. lol just didnt wana pay a lot of money to have it installed. So do you guys think i should just drop it off at my car audio store and have em tell me whats wrong with it?
