Radio Issues

WEll my car came factory with a bose stereo system in it, so since the car had no radio when I got it, we put one in. I ordered that special wiring thing from crutchfield and turned up all the power on all of the speaker, but all you hear is radio frequencies and on the highest volume, you barely hear music and it sounds terrible. What could I be missing out on?

Can you change the LPF and HPF setting on your head unit? If you can set the LPF at 80Hz and the HPF at 128Hz sounds bad ***.

Ok I will try that, but even at low volumes the speaker distort horribly. When its all the way up, you cant hear music over the car. I think something big is wrong.

First get on the phone with Crutchfield and let their tech support do there job. If you call them them will walk you through you problem. Trust me I know I have called them plenty of time and they are always willing to help guide me through.

if you're still using your original speakers that could be a problem too
