[QUOTE="Jaseeb, post: 8522620, member: 670967"] Hi, First of all thanks for looking any help greatly appreciated!! I've tried google etc but seem to keep going round in circles !! I've got a 2014 transporter I've connected the original head unit to a pioneer d8604 4 channel amplifier via a speaker to RCA adapter. I'm currently running the amp in 2 channel mode 100w per channel at 4 ohms, I've replaced the stock speakers with Focal 2way component speaker system 6" Flax cone - Focal PS165F which are 70w nominal and 140w max. I've set all the gains etc but my problem is if I turn the gain down, I can only turn the head unit up to about 5 on the volume it's way too loud ! Even volume 2 is too loud really, if I turn the gain up I get hardly any bass and sounds rubbish ! If I turn the gain so it's biased towards the down it sounds better, but at volume 9 on certain tracks the speakers distort on certain tracks like a popping sound, I think it's the bass causing this. I'm be tried turning the bass down on the head unit but if I then turn the volume up it distorts again and sounds rubbish. I hope I've explained it clearly!!!! Please help !!!
