Recently took my car to a shop and had an aftermarket system installed. I am disappointed with the way it sounds to say the least. I have a U.S. Acoustics Barbara Ann 400 watt amp, and Morel Maximo 6 component speakers up front.
Even with the amp on the lowest gain I get distortion when cranking up the volume. Its a hissy fuzzy kind of distortion. My determination is that the stock speaker wire is too thin. When hooking a speaker directly up to the amp, it sounds fine. I used an adapter to hook up to the factory wiring. Running new wire to the speakers sounds like a nightmare, and I really don't want to pay someone else to do it.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
