So , i went out to play around and try to tune this monstrosity in a little better. So i correctly set the gains on the preamp , kept the volume on the deck at 22 of 30. Settings flat on deck , loud off. Gains on the old sony are all the way down , didn't bother using a dmm because its loud enough with them all the way down. LOL. But for some reason when i put the cd on pause and crank the preamp past 3/4 , i get a disgusting squeal. After an hour of trying to track down the source of this noise , i remembered................ITS A PIONEER DECK!! ******* RCA's needed to be grounded. The ***** actually doesnt sound half bad except for the hollow bottom end because of the crap box. The higher bass gets down pretty nice. But next week sometime i'm taking that **** box out and running a single JBL GT1000 10" in 1.5@32hz. Should be nice. Once i get some 4 gauge for the amp and some better speakers for the door i will fix all the wiring. also gotta lose that pioneer for a alpine or kenwood budget deck. But after isolating that ground noise it sounds pretty good now.

I didnt feel like hiding anything because its coming out in a month. The only thing staying is the preamp. All speakers are being replaced ' date=' and my sony amp is going in my car. this is just a temporary car while i get a new motor for my buick.[/quote']

LMAO!!!!
that guy actually made my ''door jam install'' look professional..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/santa.gif.e1ec9cf2e0a0dd232ad35aa594a126d0.gif

It was directed at whoever didnt do an install properly because they are lazy.

Lulz.

So you mean to tell me you would "properly" run 18 gauge speaker wire under carpet and through the door boots , when you plan on putting 14 gauge in within a month or so , and drill firewall hole and use a 8 gauge grommet when you plan on upgrading to 4 gauge in a month or so , and build a quality box for subs that are being replaced in a week , hide cheap RCA's under the carpet when you plan on getting quality rcas within a month or so? Why would i do all that work just to do it again in a month? I just needed to make noise and i was bored ,so i went out and made some noise. LOL.

No Im saying I would buy the proper wire, speakers, build the box, etc right the first time so I didnt have to deal with it again. It saves time doing it right the first time then it does to do it wrong and fix it.

But i wanted to do it. I don't have money right now for this stuff , i just wanted to turn my radio on NOW and not cringe at the slightest amount of volume as i did with the door speakers on the deck. i had some crap laying around and made use of it. It beats listening to the **** that was in the car to begin with.

and i'm not fixing anything , i'm replacing everything. except the preamp

your upgrading everything then ?

except the amp and preamp. i decided to keep the 5540F (built in crossovers) in this car and use the 5540 (no crossovers) in the buick because the deck in the buick is 3 way active. This car will get a new entry level deck , a pair of 5.25" vifa/audax 2 ways from parts express , and a JBL GT1000 10" is in the mail now. All the wiring is getting changed out , and i'm gonna do a box in the spare tire area in the trunk.
