[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6179214, member: 591579"] Im guessing if the dash units aren't amped the alpines get louder so you can't really hear thr crappy sound from the dash when you crank it. The distortion doesn't just go away or anything. When I changed my setup and bridged my Eclipse amp to my Hertz HSKs in front and left my rears off the head unit it sounded perfect then when I cut the front speakers and listened to the rear I realized they were ridiculously distorted at high volume levels due to lack of power and would probably blow without me ever knowing. Eventually I ended up with an HU with a little more control over the individual channels so I was able to give them a higher crossover in addition to attenuating them a bit. [/QUOTE]
